¹⁵ Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.

¹⁶ Jehovah, in trouble they sought thee; they poured out [their] whispered prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

¹⁷ As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.
