Isaiah 26:15-17
Common English Bible

15 You’ve enlarged the nation, Lord.
    You’ve enlarged the nation; you are glorified.
    You’ve expanded all the land’s boundaries.
16 Lord, in distress they sought you out;
    they poured out prayers to you when you disciplined them.
17 As a pregnant woman close to childbirth is in labor pains,
    crying out in her pangs,
    so were we because of you, Lord.
