“ Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,

“ I wish I could have what I’m asking for! I wish God would give me what I’m hoping for!

“ Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfill my hope,

If only my request would be granted and God would provide what I hope for:

“ Oh, that my request might come to pass, And that God would grant my hope!

“ Oh, that I might have my request, That God would grant me the thing that I long for!

Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

If only my request would be granted and God would provide what I hope for:

Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant[ me] the thing that I long for!

“ Oh that my request would be realized, and that God would grant me what I long for!

“ Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,

But I don’t have the strength to endure. I have nothing to live for.Do I have the strength of a stone? Is my body made of bronze?No, I am utterly helpless, without any chance of success.

I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word.

What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?Where then is my hope? Can anyone find it?No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!”
