'Watching' in the Bible

And when he came, lo, Eli was sitting upon his seat by the wayside watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.

Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
