Isaiah 38:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ Like a swallow or a crane I chirp,
    I moan like a dove.
My eyes look weakly upward.
    O Lord,^[a] I am oppressed, so^[b] stand up for me!
¹⁵ What can I say, so I tell myself,^[c]
    since he has done this to me?^[d]
I will walk slowly all my years
    because of my soul’s anguish.
