⁴⁰ For I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, “As I live forever,

²⁷ The eternal God is your ^(A)refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
^(B)He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!’

^2 (A)Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You ^[a]had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
