The Lord Gives Hope

12 I am the Lord, the one
    who encourages you.
Why are you afraid
    of mere humans?
They dry up and die like grass.

13 I spread out the heavens
and laid foundations
    for the earth.
But you have forgotten me,
    your Lord and Creator.
All day long you were afraid
of those who were angry
    and hoped to oppress you.
Where are they now?

14 Everyone crying out in pain
    will be quickly set free;
they will be rescued
from the power of death
    and never go hungry.
