13 I soothed my soul until morning.
(A)Like a lion—so He (B)shatters all my bones;
From (C)day until night You make an end of me.
14 (D)Like a swallow, like a crane, so I chirped;
I (E)moan like a dove;
My (F)eyes look wistfully to the heights;
O Lord, I am oppressed, be my (G)security.

15 (H)What shall I say?
[a]Indeed, He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it;
I will (I)wander about all my years because of the (J)bitterness of my soul.

  1. Isaiah 38:15 DSS and Targum And what shall I say for He

13 I waited patiently(A) till dawn,
    but like a lion he broke(B) all my bones;(C)
    day and night(D) you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
    I moaned like a mourning dove.(E)
My eyes grew weak(F) as I looked to the heavens.
    I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”(G)

15 But what can I say?(H)
    He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.(I)
I will walk humbly(J) all my years
    because of this anguish of my soul.(K)
