    I arm you, though you do not know me,^(A)

⁸ Do not fear or be afraid;

    You are my witnesses!
Is there any god besides me?
    There is no other rock; I know not one.^(A)

⁹     remember the former things of old,
for I am God, and there is no other;
    I am God, and there is no one like me,^(A)

²⁷ You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel
    and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other.
And my people shall never again be put to shame.^(A)

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)
