Isaiah 26:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ Lord, you multiplied the number of your people;
    you multiplied them and brought honor to yourself.
You made the borders of the land wide.
¹⁶ Lord, people remember you when they are in trouble;
    they say quiet prayers to you when you punish them.
¹⁷ Lord, when we are with you,
    we are like a woman giving birth to a baby;
    she cries and has pain from the birth.
