4  ^jTrust in the Lord forever,

for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

8  Fear not, nor be afraid;

have I not told you from of old and declared it?

And ^cyou are my witnesses!

Is there a God besides me?

There is no ^dRock; I know not any.”

18  You were unmindful of the Rock that bore¹ you,

and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
