Reflection
Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. Three statements in one verse: redeemed (the past), summoned by name (the personal), and you are mine (the belonging). The fear is answered by all three, not by one alone.
You are mine
Three statements: redeemed (the past), summoned by name (the personal), and you are mine (the belonging). The fear is answered by all three, not by one alone. The verse is spoken to a people in exile, which is where identity matters most.
