Be not dismayed; for I am thy God (Isa. 41:10)

The Hebrew word translated "be dismayed" means literally "gaze" and so "look out (for help)"; hence "gaze about (in anxiety) ." The margin of the Revised Version suggests, "Look not around thee"; and the Septuagint (Greek) Version, "wander not"; while Kent's rendering is, "Be not terrified."
