The reward I hope for from you has been delayed;
The reward I hope for has been delayed
and beyond the respite you have granted, there is no more 'later.'
And after what I looked forward to

And that happens when you prolong the delay until
That's because you prolonged the waiting until
harm and hardship from it afflict the soul.
My soul was pained and exhausted by it

Then no praise will come to your aid;
There, praise cannot help you in me
and is there praise for one who taints a kindness?
Can one who spoils favors be praised?
