8 But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.
O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you.
My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net. Be turned to me, and have mercy on me; for I am troubled and have no helper. The troubles of my heart are increased: O take me out of my sorrows.
<A Song of the going up.> To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens. See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.
The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up.
<For the chief music-maker. Of David.> In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?
The evil man has gone after my soul; my life is crushed down to the earth: he has put me in the dark, like those who have long been dead. Because of this my spirit is overcome; and my heart is full of fear.
