Isaiah 26:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Lord, you have helped the nation you love.
    You made our nation grow
    and brought honor to yourself.^[a]
16 Lord, people remember you
    when they are in trouble.
So because of your punishment,
    we called out to you.
¹⁷ Lord, because of you we were in pain,
    like a woman giving birth,
    who struggles and cries out when it is time.
