Isaiah 38:14-19 »I cry like a swallow (swift). I mourn like a dove. My eyes are red from looking to you, Jehovah. I am terribly abused. Please come and help me.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ »I cry like a swallow (swift). I mourn like a dove. My eyes are red from looking to you, Jehovah. I am terribly abused. Please come and help me. ¹⁵ »There is nothing I can say in answer to you. For you are the one who has done this to me. My life has turned sour. I will limp until I die. ¹⁶ »Your words and your deeds bring life to everyone, including me. Please make me healthy and strong again. ¹⁷ »Yes, it was for my benefit that I suffered such distress. In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction. You have put (thrown) (hurled) all my sins behind your back. ¹⁸ »For the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise. Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness. ¹⁹ »The living, yes the living praise you, as I am doing today! Fathers tell their children about your faithfulness.
