³⁵ You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your right hand ^(A)supported me,
    and your ^(B)gentleness made me great.
³⁶ You ^(C)gave a wide place for my steps under me,
    and my feet did not slip.

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.
³ For ^(G)I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
^(H)I give Egypt as your ransom,
    Cush and ^(I)Seba in exchange for you.
⁴ Because you are precious in my eyes,
    and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
    peoples in exchange for your life.
^5 (J)Fear not, for I am with you;
    ^(K)I will bring your offspring from the east,
    and from the west I will gather you.
