Interpretation based on the following study:  Certain and assured to stand near, receive, care for and tend to the blind, those in the dark, dense and lacking understanding, naked, stripped, helpless and in a deathlike state.  Appointing union with mankind to reconcile, redeem, save, teach, care for and establish us in permanent relationship with Him.  Nourishing and bringing up the fatherless, healing the incurable, oppressed, damaged, hopeless and spoiled.  He ordained in certainty and assurance that no evil will ever come near us.  Indeed, He is standing near with His Assurance of Redemption, Saving and Delivering us from harm, freeing and liberating from the enemy's occupation, imprisonment and enslavement.  Passing over to spare and Redeem us to enter into God's Presence of the closest and most intimate kind.  Bringing us near in His Desire and Longing for us, to belong to Him.  Entreating to beseech as the Highest Most High Lord Almighty, to fully satisfy us in His Reconciliation and Goodwill.  Joining and completing us in union to carry, care for, nourish and feed us in His Forgiveness, Pardon, Dominion, Rulership and Preference.  He undertook responsibility for our sins by Substitution and Representation.  Choosing and calling us by name in His Favor to ordain by His Word.  Yehoweh shone forth His Counsel to teach and give light, fulfilling His Salvation to the masses.  Performing to accomplish His Will to bring us home and care for us.  Restoring us to bring forth fruit as Master Owner of everything in His creation.  Powerful, Mighty, Strong and Able to Accomplish according to His Will to Restore us to Himself.
