²¹ Declare and present your case;
    take counsel together!^[a]
Who told this long ago?
    Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
    There is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
    there is no one besides me.^(A)

⁵ I am the Lord, and there is no other;
    besides me there is no god.
    I arm you, though you do not know me,^(A)

¹¹ I, I am the Lord,
    and besides me there is no savior.^(A)

⁷ Who is like me? Let them proclaim it;
    let them declare and set it forth before me.
Who has announced from of old the things to come?^[a]
    Let them tell us^[b] what is yet to be.^(A)
8 Do not fear or be afraid;
    have I not told you from of old and declared it?
    You are my witnesses!
Is there any god besides me?
    There is no other rock; I know not one.^(B)

⁹ Let all the nations gather together,
    and let the peoples assemble.
Who among them declared this
    and foretold to us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to justify them,
    and let them hear and say, “It is true.”^(A)

¹⁷ The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
    a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will renew you^[a] in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing^(A)

⁹ Proclaim this among the nations:
Consecrate yourselves for war;
    stir up the warriors.
Let all the soldiers draw near;
    let them come up.
¹⁰ Beat your plowshares into swords
    and your pruning hooks into spears;
    let the weakling say, “I am a warrior.”^(A)
