17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth
writhes and cries out in her pains,(A)
so we were before you, Lord.
18 We became pregnant, we writhed in pain;
we gave birth to wind.
We have won no victories on earth,
and the earth’s inhabitants have not fallen.

19 Your dead will live; their bodies[a] will rise.(B)
Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!
For you will be covered with the morning dew,[b]
and the earth will bring out the departed spirits.
