My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.

I wait for your salvation, LORD, and I follow your commands.

My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.

I hope for your salvation, O LORD, and I do your commandments.

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

I long for your rescue, LORD, so I have obeyed your commands.

I long for your salvation;  I put my hope in your word.

LORD, I hope for your salvation  and carry out your commands.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation: But I hope in thy word.

LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, And done thy commandments.

My soul faints for Your salvation, But I hope in Your word.

LORD, I hope for Your salvation, And I do Your commandments.

I’m homesick—longing for your salvation; I’m waiting for your word of hope. My eyes grow heavy watching for some sign of your promise; how long must I wait for your comfort? There’s smoke in my eyes—they burn and water, but I keep a steady gaze on the instructions you post. How long do I have to put up with all this? How long till you haul my tormentors into court? The arrogant godless try to throw me off track, ignorant as they are of God and his ways. Everything you command is a sure thing, but they harass me with lies. Help! They’ve pushed and pushed—they never let up— but I haven’t relaxed my grip on your counsel. In your great love revive me so I can alertly obey your every word. * * *

I’ve been slandered unmercifully by the politicians, but my awe at your words keeps me stable. I’m ecstatic over what you say, like one who strikes it rich. I hate lies—can’t stand them!— but I love what you have revealed. Seven times each day I stop and shout praises for the way you keep everything running right. For those who love what you reveal, everything fits— no stumbling around in the dark for them. I wait expectantly for your salvation; GOD, I do what you tell me. My soul guards and keeps all your instructions— oh, how much I love them! I follow your directions, abide by your counsel; my life’s an open book before you. * * *

¶My soul languishes for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.

I hope for Your salvation, LORD, And do Your commandments.

¶My soul languishes and grows weak for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.

I hope and wait [with complete confidence] for Your salvation, O LORD, And I do Your commandments. [Gen 49:18]

I desperately long for your deliverance. I find hope in your word.

I hope for your deliverance, O LORD, and I obey your commands.
