Chosen

I took you from the ends of the earth,

From its farthest corners I called you.

I said, 'You are my servant;'

I have chosen you and have not rejected you.

So do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:9-11
