When you pass through the waters, I’ll be with you;
    and through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you.
when you walk through fire you won’t be scorched,
    and the flame won’t set you ablaze.

“I[a] am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Redeemer.[b]
And[c] I’ve given Egypt as your ransom,[d]
    Cush and the people of Seba[e] in exchange for you.
Since you’re precious in my sight
    and honored,
and because I love you,
    I’m giving up people in your place,
    and nations in exchange for your life.”
