Good News Translation

15 Lord, you have made our nation grow,
    enlarging its territory on every side;
    and this has brought you honor.
16 You punished your people, Lord,
    and in anguish they prayed to you.[a]
17 You, Lord, have made us cry out,
    as a woman in labor cries out in pain.

    you have enlarged the nation.(A)
You have gained glory for yourself;
    you have extended all the borders(B) of the land.

16 Lord, they came to you in their distress;(C)
    when you disciplined(D) them,
    they could barely whisper(E) a prayer.[a]
17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth(F)
    writhes and cries out in her pain,
    so were we in your presence, Lord.
