Isaiah 38:14-16
Good News Translation

14 My voice was thin and weak,
And I moaned like a dove.
My eyes grew tired from looking to heaven.
Lord, rescue me from all this trouble.
15 What can I say? The Lord has done this.
My heart is bitter, and I cannot sleep.[a]

16 Lord, I will live for you, for you alone;
Heal me and let me live.[b]

New International Version

14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
    I moaned like a mourning dove.(A)

    I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”(C)

15 But what can I say?(D)
    He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.(E)
I will walk humbly(F) all my years
    because of this anguish of my soul.(G)

    and my spirit finds life in them too.
