Isaiah 38:14-16

American Standard Version

¹⁴ Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter;
I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward:
O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.
¹⁵ What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it:
I shall go ^[a]softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
¹⁶ O Lord, by these things men live;
And wholly therein is the life of my spirit:
^[b]Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.
