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.’”

Israel Encouraged

41 (A)Coastlands, listen to Me (B)in silence,
And let the peoples (C)gain new strength;
(D)Let them come forward, then let them speak;
(E)Let us come together for judgment.
(F)Who has aroused one from the east
Whom He (G)calls in righteousness to His [a]feet?
He (H)delivers up nations before him
And subdues 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 safety,
By a way he had not been [b]traversing with his feet.
(K)Who has performed and accomplished it,
Calling forth the generations from the beginning?
(L)I, the Lord, am the first, and with the last. (M)I am He.’”
