    he who formed me in the womb(A) to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him

    to restore the tribes of Jacob
    and bring back those of Israel I have kept.(F)

    princes will see and bow down,(M)
because of the Lord, who is faithful,(N)
    the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen(O) you.”
