Isaiah 38:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ I cried like a bird
    and moaned like a dove.
My eyes became tired,
    but I continued looking to the heavens.
Lord, I am so depressed.
    Promise to help me.”
¹⁵ What can I say?
    He told me what would happen,
    and he will make it happen.
I have had these troubles in my soul,
    so now I will be humble all my life.
¹⁶ Lord, use this hard time to make my spirit live again.
    Help my spirit become strong and healthy.
Help me become well!
    Help me live again!
