46 God is our ^(B)refuge and strength,
^(C)A^[a] very present help in trouble.

43 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, ^(A)for I have redeemed you;
^(B)I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
^2 (C)When you pass through the waters, ^(D)I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you ^(E)walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
³ For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
^(F)I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
