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

New Heart English Bible

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

In Context

2I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold.I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

4Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head.Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty.I have to restore what I did not take away.
