I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” *2.* “To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?” *3.* “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; He gently leads those that have young.” *4.* “In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy, he redeemed them, He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.”
