Isaiah 26:14-16

New Living Translation

¹⁴ Those we served before are dead and gone.
    Their departed spirits will never return!
You attacked them and destroyed them,
    and they are long forgotten.
¹⁵ O Lord, you have made our nation great;
    yes, you have made us great.
You have extended our borders,
    and we give you the glory!

¹⁶ Lord, in distress we searched for you.
    We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline.
