Coastlands have seen, so they fear, The ends of the earth, are in dread, - They have drawn near, and have come:

Every man, to his neighbour, giveth help, - And to his brother, saith Take courage!

So, the carver, hath encouraged, the goldsmith, he that maketh smooth with the hammer, him that smiteth the anvil, - Saying of the welding, It is, good, Then hath he fastened it with nails - it must not totter!

But, thou, Israel, my Servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, - The seed of Abraham my loving one;

Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, And from the extremities thereof, have called thee, - And said to thee, My Servant, thou! I have chosen thee and not cast thee off,

Do not fear, for with thee, I am! Look not around, for, I, am thy God, - I have emboldened thee, Yea I have helped thee, Yea I have upheld thee with my righteous right-hand.
