“Remember this and stand firm,

recall it to mind, you transgressors,

remember the former things of old;

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me,

declaring the end from the beginning

and from ancient times things not yet done,

saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,

and I will accomplish all my purpose,’

“Remember this, keep it in mind,

take it to heart, you rebels.

Remember the former things, those of long ago;

I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and there is none like me.

I make known the end from the beginning,

from ancient times, what is still to come.

I say, ‘My purpose will stand,

and I will do all that I please.’

take it to heart, you transgressors!

Remember what happened long ago,

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and no one is like me.

and from long ago what is not yet done,

saying: my plan will take place,

and I will do all my will.

before it even happens.

Everything I plan will come to pass,

for I do whatever I wish.

and from before, things that have not been done,

who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’

and, ‘I will accomplish all my wishes,’

Bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

Remember the former things of old:

For I am God, and there is none else;

I am God, and there is none like me,

Declaring the end from the beginning,

And from ancient times the things that are not yet done,

Saying, My counsel shall stand,

And I will do all my pleasure:
