Commentators like Spurgeon and Calvin explain that the phrase 'my eyes fail' describes a real, physical exhaustion from intense, prolonged waiting. It's not a sign of losing faith, but rather the mark of a deep, persistent longing for God's intervention during a long trial. This shows that persevering in hope can be an arduous and wearying process.
