עוֹדֵ֙ינוּ֙ תִּכְלֶ֣ינָה עֵינֵ֔ינוּ אֶל עֶזְרָתֵ֖נוּ הָ֑בֶל בְּצִפִּיָּתֵ֣נוּ צִפִּ֔ינוּ אֶל גּ֖וֹי לֹ֥א יוֹשִֽׁעַ׃

ʿvodeynv tikleynah ʿeyneynv ʾel ʿezratenv habel bṣipiyatenv ṣipiynv ʾel gvoy loʾ yvoshiʿa

King James Version (KJV)

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

Modern English

Our eyes failed, ever watching vainly for help; in our watching we watched for a nation which could not save.
