14 (A)Like a swallow, like a crane, so I twitter;
I (B)moan like a dove;
My (C)eyes look wistfully to the heights;
Lord, I am oppressed, be my (D)security.

15 (E)What shall I say?
[a]For He has spoken to me, and He Himself has done it;
I will (F)walk [b]quietly all my years because of the (G)bitterness of my soul.
16 Lord, (H)by these things people live,
And in all these is the life of my spirit;
[c](I)Restore me to health and (J)let me live!
