17 O Yahweh, when we are with you,
    we are like pregnant women ready to give birth.
        They writhe and cry out in their labor pains.
18 We were pregnant; we writhed with labor pains
    only to give birth to the wind.
    We weren’t able to bring salvation to the land,
        and no new people were born on earth.
19 Your dead will live.
    Their corpses will rise.
    Those who lie dead in the dust will wake up and shout for joy,
    because your dew is a refreshing dew,
        and the earth will revive the spirits of the dead.
