Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah.

As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.

Ως εγκυος γυνη, οταν πλησιαση εις την γενναν, κοιλοπονει, φωναζουσα εν τοις πονοις αυτης, ουτως εγειναμεν ενωπιον σου, Κυριε.

Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
