Isaiah 38:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I [a]chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes were lifted up on high: O Lord, [b]it hath oppressed me, comfort me.
15 What shall I say, [c]for he hath said it to me, and he hath done it: I shall walk [d]weakly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16 O Lord, [e]to them that overlive them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirit shall be known, that thou causest me to [f]sleep and hast given life to me.
