(A)Remember this, and be [a]assured;
(B)Recall it to [b]mind, you (C)wrongdoers.
Remember the (D)former things long past,
For I am God, and there is (E)no other;
I am God, and there is (F)no one like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘(G)My plan will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;
11 Calling a (H)bird of prey from the (I)east,
The man of [c]My purpose from a distant country.
Truly I have (J)spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it, I will certainly do it.

12 (K)Listen to Me, you (L)stubborn-minded,
Who are (M)far from righteousness.
13 I (N)bring near My righteousness, it is not far off;
And My salvation will not delay.
And I will grant (O)salvation in Zion,
And My (P)glory for Israel.

Remember past events

Remember this and take courage;
    take it to heart, you rebels.
Remember the prior things—from long ago;
    I am God, and there’s no other.
I am God! There’s none like me,
10     who tells the end at the beginning,
    from ancient times things not yet done,
    saying, “My plan will stand;
    all that I decide I will do,”
11 I call a bird of prey from the east,
    a man from a distant land for my plan.
As surely as I have spoken, I’ll make it happen;
    I have planned, and yes, I’ll do it.
12 Listen to me, you bullheaded people
    who are far from victory:
13 I’m bringing my victory near—it isn’t far,
    and my salvation—it won’t delay.
I will establish salvation in Zion
    and grant my splendor to Israel.
