call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,

shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

and with the last; I am he. - Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - For I, the Lord your God,
hold your right hand;
it is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I am the one who helps you.”
