17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth

writhes and cries out in her pain,

so were we in your presence, Lord.

17 Like a pregnant woman

who writhes and cries out in her pangs

when she is near to giving birth,

so were we because of you, O Lord;

17 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.

17 Just as a pregnant woman

writhes and cries out in pain as she gives birth,

so were we in your presence, Lord.

17 As a woman with child

Is in pain and cries out in her pangs,

When she draws near the time of her delivery,

So have we been in Your sight, O Lord.

17 Lord, when we are with you,

we are like a woman giving birth to a baby;

she cries and has pain from the birth.

17 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.

17 As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.

17 O Lord, when we are with you, 

we are like pregnant women ready to give birth. 

They writhe and cry out in their labor pains. 

17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth

writhes and cries out in her pains,

so we were before You, Lord.

17 Like 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;

17 Like a pregnant woman on the point of giving birth, she writhes;

she cries in her labor pains.

So we were because of your presence, Yahweh.

17 Lord, you made us like a woman who is having a baby.

She groans and cries out in pain.
