49 Listen^(A) to me, you islands;^(B)
    hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born^(C) the Lord called^(D) me;
    from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.^(E)

² This is what the Lord says—
    he who made^(A) you, who formed you in the womb,^(B)
    and who will help^(C) you:
Do not be afraid,^(D) Jacob, my servant,^(E)
    Jeshurun,^[a](F) whom I have chosen.
