He gives breath to everyone,

life to everyone who walks the earth…

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.

Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I, the LORD your God.

And I say to you,

‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.

He will feed his flock like a shepherd.

He will carry the lambs in his arms,

holding them close to his heart.

He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.

Open your eyes, O LORD, and see!

Listen to Sennacherib’s words of defiance against the living God.
