Isaiah 38:14-16
Common English Bible

14 Like a swallow[a] I chirp;
    I moan like a dove.
My eyes have grown weary looking to heaven.
    Lord, I’m overwhelmed; support me!”

15 What can I say?
    God has spoken to me;
    he himself has acted.
I will wander[b] my whole life
    with a bitter spirit.
16 The Lord Most High is the one who gives life to every heart,
    who gives life to the spirit![c]

New International Version

14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
    I moaned like a mourning dove.(A)
My eyes grew weak(B) as I looked to the heavens.

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

    and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
    and let me live.(H)
