My eyes fail, longing for Your salvation and for Your righteous word.
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for the word of thy righteousness.
My eyes fail, watching for Your salvation and for the fulfillment of Your righteous promise.
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, And for thy righteous word.
My eyes are worn out looking for your saving help— looking for your word that will set things right.
May Your lovingkindnesses come to me, Adonai— Your salvation according to Your word—
My soul waits for my Lord, more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.
Answer me speedily, Adonai— my spirit fails. Hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the Pit.
I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing, I have come into deep waters, and a flood sweeps over me.
Even now our eyes waste away looking in vain for our help. From our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
