Isaiah 26:15-17
Lexham English Bible

15 You have added to the nation, Yahweh.
    You have added to the nation; you are honored.
    You have extended all the ends of the land.
16 Yahweh, in distress they have visited you;
    they poured out an incantation;[a]
    your discipline was on them.
17 Like a pregnant woman on the point of giving birth, she writhes;
    she cries in her labor pains.

So we were because of your presence, Yahweh.

You have gained glory for yourself;

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.
