- Who has done this and carried it through,
calling forth the generations from the beginning?
I, the Lord—with the first of them
and with the last—I am he. - So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
