They are down on their knees
    to rescue the heavy load,
but the images are still taken
    to a foreign country.

You survivors in Israel,
    listen to me, the Lord.
Since the day you were born,
    I have carried you along.

when you are old and gray,
    and I will take care of you.
I created you. I will carry you
    and always keep you safe.

you whom I have upheld since your birth,(D)
    and have carried(E) since you were born.(F)

    I am he,(H) I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
    I will sustain(I) you and I will rescue you.
