All the while our eyes were failing as we looked in vain for help. We watched from our towers for a nation that could not save us.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)


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

Still these eyes of ours failed, For our help evaporated. In our watchtower we have kept watch, Towards a nation that couldn't save us.
