Do Not Fear, for I Am with You

41 (A)Coastlands, listen to Me (B)in silence,
And let the peoples (C)gain new power;
(D)Let them come forward, then let them speak;
(E)Let us draw near together for judgment.
(F)Who has awakened one from the east
Whom He (G)calls in righteousness to His [a]feet?
He (H)gives up nations before him
And [b]has dominion over kings.
He makes them like (I)dust with his sword,
As the wind-driven (J)chaff with his bow.
He pursues them, passing on in peace,
By a way he had not [c]come with his feet.
(K)Who has worked and done it,
Calling forth the generations from the beginning?
(L)I, Yahweh, am the first; and with the last, (M)I am He.’”

41 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment. Who hath raised up one from the east, [a]whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; [b]he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow. He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet. Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he.
