For (A)I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your (B)Savior;
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
[a](C)Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
Since you are (D)precious in My sight,
Since you are (E)honored and I (F)love you,
I will give other people in your place and other nations in exchange for your life.
Do not fear, for (G)I am with you;
I will bring (H)your offspring from the east,
And (I)gather you from the west.
