Gelijk een zwangere wier barensuur nadert zich wringt en schreeuwt in haar weeen, zo waren wij om uwentwil, Heer.
Gelijk een bevruchte vrouw, als zij nadert tot het baren, smarten heeft, en schreeuwt in haar weeen, alzo zijn wij geweest, o HEERE! vanwege Uw aangezicht.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Like as a woman with child,.... By this simile are set forth the great distresses and afflictions the church of Christ will be in, before redemption and deliverance from the antichristian yoke comes:
[that] draweth near the time of her delivery; when her burden is great and very troublesome:
[is] in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; for her friends to come about her, and give her all the help and assistance they can:
so have we been in thy sight, O Lord; in great distress and trouble, and crying to him for salvation and deliverance, all which were well known unto him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Like as a woman with child ... - This verse is designed to state their griefs and sorrows during the time of their oppression in Babylon. The comparison used here is one that is very frequent in the sacred writings to represent any great suffering (see Psalms 48:6; Jeremiah 6:24; Jeremiah 13:21; Jeremiah 22:23; Jeremiah 49:24; Jeremiah 50:43; Micah 4:9-10).
