Our Refuge and Strength

Isaiah 41:8-13

⁸ But you, Israel my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, offspring of Abraham, whom I love, ⁹ you whom I took from the ends of the earth and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, “You are my servant; I chose you and didn’t reject you”: ¹⁰ Don’t fear, because I am with you; don’t be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will surely help you; I will hold you with my righteous strong hand. ¹¹ All who rage against you will be shamed and disgraced. Those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish. ¹² You will look for your opponents, and won’t find them. Those who fight you will be of no account and will die. ¹³ I am the LORD your God, who grasps your strong hand, who says to you, Don’t fear; I will help you.
