aWho created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it,
Who did not create it1 in vain,
Who formed it to be binhabited:
c“I am the Lord, and there is no other.

In a dark place of the earth;

I declare things that are right.

Draw near together,
You who have escaped from the nations.
aThey have no knowledge,
Who carry the wood of their carved image,
And pray to a god that cannot save.

Have not I, the Lord?
bAnd there is no other God besides Me,
A just God and a Savior;
There is none besides Me.
