14 I cried like a bird
    and moaned like a dove.
My eyes became tired,
    but I continued looking to the heavens.
Lord, I am so depressed.
    Promise to help me.”
15 What can I say?
    He told me what would happen,
    and he will make it happen.
I have had these troubles in my soul,
    so now I will be humble all my life.
16 Lord, use this hard time to make my spirit live again.
    Help my spirit become strong and healthy.
Help me become well!
    Help me live again!
