Psalm 119:82

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

My eyes fail [with longing, watching] for [the fulfillment of] Your salvation,
And for [the fulfillment of] Your righteous word.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My eyes fail while I wait [with confident expectation] for my God.

Your sons and daughters will be given to another people, while your eyes look on and long for them continually; but there will be nothing you can do.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

I said, “I will not see the Lord
The Lord in the land of the living;
I will no longer see man among the inhabitants of the world.

Show me a sign of [Your] goodwill,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, helped and comforted me.

Turn, O Lord [from Your fierce anger]; how long will it be?
Be compassionate toward Your servants—revoke Your sentence.

My eyes fail [with longing, watching] for [the fulfillment of] Your salvation,
And for [the fulfillment of] Your righteous word.
