For Jacob my servant’s sake,
    and Israel my chosen,
I have called you by your name.
    I have given you a title,
    though you have not known me.
I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
    Besides me, there is no God.
I will strengthen[a] you,
    though you have not known me,
that they may know from the rising of the sun,
    and from the west,
that there is no one besides me.
    I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
