16O Lord, in distress they sought you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them. 17Like a woman with child, who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near her time, so were we because of you, O Lord; 18we were with child, we writhed, but we gave birth only to wind. We have won no victories on earth, and no one is born to inhabit the world.
