“Who has done such mighty deeds,
summoning each new generation
from the beginning of time?
It is I,
the LORD,
the First and the Last.
I alone am he.”

The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.
“This is what the LORD,
the God of Israel,
says:
Because you prayed about King Sennacherib of Assyria,
the LORD has spoken this word against him:
…’He will not enter this city,’
says the LORD.
‘For my own honor
and for the sake of my servant David,
I will defend this city and protect it.’”
