Isaiah 41:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ The Lord says, “People of Israel, you are my servants.
    People of Jacob, I chose you.
    You are from the family of my friend Abraham.
⁹ I took you from places far away on the earth
    and called you from a faraway country.
I said, ‘You are my servants.’
    I have chosen you and have not turned against you.
¹⁰ So don’t worry, because I am with you.
    Don’t be afraid, because I am your God.
I will make you strong and will help you;
    I will support you with my right hand that saves you.
