You have aincreased the nation;
You are glorified;
You have expanded all the1 borders of the land.
They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.
Is in pain and cries out in her1 pangs,
When she draws near the time of her delivery,
So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.
We have, as it were,1 brought forth wind;
We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth,
Nor have athe inhabitants of the world fallen.
Together with1 my dead body they shall arise.
bAwake and sing, you who dwell in dust;
For your dew is like the dew of herbs,
And the earth shall cast out the dead.
| << Isaiah 26:16 | Isaiah 26:18 >> |
