Rh
 * Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, them art mine.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;
 * And through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
 * For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour.

Isaiah liv FOR a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
 * In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment;

But with everlasting lovingkindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.
 * For this is as the waters of Noah unto me;

For as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth,
 * So have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed;
 * But my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
 * Behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones.
 * And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations;
 * Spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.

For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left;
 * And thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

For thy Maker is thy husband; the Lord of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer;
 * The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
