Isaiah 38:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ I cry for help^[a] until morning;
like a lion he breaks all my bones;
from day to night you bring me to an end.^(A)

¹⁴Like a swallow or a crane^[b] I clamor;
    I moan like a dove.
My eyes are weary with looking upward.
    O Lord, I am oppressed; be my security!^(B)
¹⁵But what can I say? For he has spoken to me,
    and he himself has done it.
All my sleep has fled^[c]
    because of the bitterness of my soul.^(C)
