REDEEMED Isaiah 50:2

Isaiah 50:2 - Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

Redeem - Buy back, make up the balance,  Paid off, set free, rescue, save.

Psalms 111:9  He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

Redemption - Deliverance from sin,  rescue from self inflicted doom.
