“ Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,

“ I wish I could have what I’m asking for! I wish God would give me what I’m hoping for!

“ Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfill my hope,

“ Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant my desire.

If only my request would be granted and God would provide what I hope for:

“ Oh, that my request might come to pass, And that God would grant my hope!

“ Oh, that I might have my request, That God would grant me the thing that I long for!

Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

If only my request would be granted and God would provide what I hope for:

Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant[ me] the thing that I long for!

“ Oh that my request would be realized, and that God would grant me what I long for!

“ Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,

我有甚麼力氣、使我仍等候呢？我的結局能怎樣、使我仍忍耐呢？我的力氣難道是石頭的力氣？我的肉身難道是銅的麼？唉，我自己裏面真是毫無助力呀；謀略的成功都從我身上被趕走了。

我的心神渴想你的救恩到暈過去；我仰望你應許的話。
