9 I pulled you back from the ends of the earth,

≈ calling you from its most distant corners,

and I told you, ‘You’re my servant.’

I’ve chosen you and won’t reject you.

10 Don’t be afraid, because I’m with you.

≈ Don’t be anxious, because I’m your God.

I’ll strengthen you, indeed, I’ll help you.

Yes, I’ll support you with my strength—always doing what’s right.
