^57 (A)You came near when I called on you;
    you said, ^(B)‘Do not fear!’

¹⁰ fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with ^(A)my righteous right hand.

⁹ Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
    you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away ^(A)the yoke from your midst,
    ^(B)the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

43 But now thus says the Lord,
^(A)he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
^(B)“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    ^(C)I have called you by name, you are mine.
^2 (D)When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
^(E)when you walk through fire ^(F)you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.

¹⁸ The Lord is ^(A)near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him ^(B)in truth.
