Names of God Bible

15 You have expanded the nation, O Yahweh.
    You have expanded the nation.
    You are honored.
    You have extended all the land’s boundaries.
16 O Yahweh, the people have come to you in trouble.
    They were humbled by oppression, by your discipline upon them.[a]
17 O Yahweh, when we are with you,
    we are like pregnant women ready to give birth.
        They writhe and cry out in their labor pains.
