Those who place their hope in the Lord will regain their strength. They will soar as with eagles’ wings, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not become faint. | But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. |
For I will provide the weary with all they need, and I will restore the strength of all those who have grown faint with hunger. | I will satisfy the weary, and all who are faint I will replenish. |

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, the Creator of the earth’s farthest boundaries. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding cannot be scrutinized. | Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. |
He gives strength to the weary and new vigor to those who are powerless. | He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. |
Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outer self is continuing to decay, our inner self is being renewed day by day. | So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. |
One who despairs should have the support of his friends even if he has forsaken the fear of the Almighty. | Those who withhold kindness from a friend forsake the fear of the Almighty. |
Let us never grow weary in doing what is right, for if we do not give up, we will reap our harvest in due time. | So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. |
O God, you are my God, for whom I have been searching earnestly. My soul yearns for you and my body thirsts for you, like the earth when it is parched, arid and without water. | O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. |
I am confident that I will behold the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. | I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. |
