Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
