I’m worn out from calling for help. My throat is very dry. My eyes grow tired looking for my God.

我因呼求困乏，喉咙发干；我因等候神，眼睛失明。

我因呼求困乏，喉咙发干；我因等候上帝，眼睛失明。

我因呼求困乏，喉咙发干；我因等候神，眼睛失明。

我连连呼救，已声嘶力竭；我期盼上帝的帮助，望眼欲穿。

我因不住呼求而疲倦，我的喉咙发干；我因等候我的神，眼睛昏花。

我因呼求而困乏，我的喉咙焦干；我的眼睛衰竭，期盼着我的神。

我因呼求困乏，喉嚨發乾；我因等候神，眼睛失明。

我因呼求困乏，喉嚨發乾；我因等候上帝，眼睛失明。

我因呼求困乏，喉嚨發乾；我因等候神，眼睛失明。

我連連呼救，已聲嘶力竭；我期盼上帝的幫助，望眼欲穿。

我因不住呼求而疲倦，我的喉嚨發乾；我因等候我的神，眼睛昏花。

我因呼求而困乏，喉嚨發乾；我因等候上帝而眼睛失明。

我因呼求而困乏，我的喉嚨焦乾；我的眼睛衰竭，期盼著我的神。

我呼籲而疲倦、我喉乾燥、企望我上帝、目為之瞶兮、

我籲呼於上、至於困憊、至於焦渴、望上帝拯予、目為之矇瞶兮。

我因呼號困乏、我喉已乾、我因仰望我天主、我目已倦、

身深陷兮泥中。欲自拔兮無從。漂入兮深淵。滅頂兮狂瀾。

I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.

I am exhausted from crying for help; my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me.

I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

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

I am weary with my crying; My throat is dry; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is dried: Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

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

I am exhausted from shouting for help; my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God.

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.

My groaning has worn me out. All night long my tears flood my bed. My bed is wet because of my crying.

My eyes grow tired looking for what you have promised. I say,“ When will you comfort me?”

I cried softly like a weak little bird. I sounded like a dove as I mourned. My eyes grew tired as I looked up toward heaven. Lord, my life is in danger. Please come and help me!

My eyes grow tired as I look to you to save me. Please save me as you have promised.

Your children will be given to another nation. Day after day you will watch for them to come back. But you will only wear out your eyes. You won’t be able to help your children.

My mouth is dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You bring me down to the edge of the grave.

May my honest and good life keep me safe. Lord, I have put my hope in you.

Lord, how long must I wait? Will you forget me forever? How long will you turn your face away from me?How long must I struggle with my thoughts? How long must my heart be sad day after day? How long will my enemies keep winning the battle over me?Lord my God, look at me and answer me. Give me new life, or I will die.

Later, Jesus knew that everything had now been finished. He also knew that what Scripture said must come true. So he said,“ I am thirsty.”

But sinful people won’t find what they are looking for. They won’t be able to escape. All they can hope for is to die.”

Jesus prayed while he lived on earth. He made his appeal with sincere cries and tears. He prayed to the God who could save him from death. God answered Jesus because he truly honored God.

“ Lord, what can I look forward to now? You are the only hope I have.

They put bitter spices in my food. They gave me vinegar when I was thirsty.

My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don’t answer. I cry out at night. But you don’t let me sleep.

My face is red from crying. I have dark circles under my eyes.

I’ve cried so much I can’t see very well. I’m suffering deep down inside. My heart is broken because my people are destroyed. Children and babies are fainting in the streets of the city.
