Isaiah 26:15-17
The Voice

15 By contrast You have made this people great, Eternal One—
    made this nation vital and strong. To you be all glory!
You have expanded the borders of this land.

16 When You corrected their wrongdoing, Eternal One,
    they could hardly even whisper a prayer.
Weak with distress, they looked to You for help.
17 You witnessed us twist and turn before You, O Eternal,
    like a birthing woman in agony of labor.

Isaiah 26:15-17
New International Version

15 You have enlarged the nation, Lord;
    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.
