“ 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.
