My eyes have failed for Your salvation, and for the word of Your righteousness.

I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; my eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another nation, and your eyes, wasting away, shall look for them; your hand shall have no strength.

Better is he that begins to help heartily, than he that promises and leads [another] to hope; for a good desire is a tree of life.

I said, I shall no more see the salvation of God in the land of the living; I shall no more see the salvation of Israel on the earth; I shall no more see man.

Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see [it] and be ashamed; because You, O Lord, have helped me, and comforted me.

Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion concerning Your servants.

let us rejoice in all our days, in return for the days in which You afflicted us, the years in which we saw evil.
