I, am Yahweh, and there is none else, Besides me, there is no God, - I gird thee, though thou hast not known me:

Not in secret, have I spoken In a place of the earth that is dark, - I have not said unto the seed of Jacob, In a waste, seek ye me, - I, am Yahweh, Speaking the thing that is right, Declaring the things that are just.

Turn unto me - and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth, - For, I, am GOD, and there is none else.

Even unto old age, I, am, the same, And unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden, - I have made and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden and will deliver,
