¹⁵ Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; ^[a]thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.

¹⁶ Jehovah, in trouble have they ^[b]visited thee; they poured out a ^[c]prayer when thy chastening was upon them. ¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been ^[d]before thee, O Jehovah.
