Do not be afraid,(A) for I am with you;(B)
    I will bring your children(C) from the east
    and gather(D) you from the west.(E)
I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
    and to the south,(F) ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar
    and my daughters(G) from the ends of the earth(H)
everyone who is called by my name,(I)
    whom I created(J) for my glory,(K)
    whom I formed and made.(L)

Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,(M)
    who have ears but are deaf.(N)
All the nations gather together(O)
    and the peoples assemble.
Which of their gods foretold(P) this
    and proclaimed to us the former things?
Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right,
    so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”
10 “You are my witnesses,(Q)” declares the Lord,
    “and my servant(R) whom I have chosen,
so that you may know(S) and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god(T) was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.(U)
11 I, even I, am the Lord,(V)
    and apart from me there is no savior.(W)

Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
