Jeremías 31:10 Midrash: Midrash Tehillim & Bereshit Rabbah

שִׁמְע֤וּ דְבַר־יְהוָה֙ גּוֹיִ֔ם וְהַגִּ֥ידוּ בָאִיִּ֖ים מִמֶּרְחָ֑ק וְאִמְר֗וּ מְזָרֵ֤ה יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יְקַבְּצֶ֔נּוּ וּשְׁמָר֖וֹ כְּרֹעֶ֥ה עֶדְרֽוֹ׃

Oid palabra de SEÑOR, oh gentes, y hacedlo saber en las islas que están lejos, y decid:  El que esparció á Israel lo juntará y guardará, como pastor á su ganado.

Midrash Tehillim

Another thing in you, O Lord, I have taken refuge. As it says (Isaiah 45:17), "Israel shall be saved by the Lord." The children of Israel said before the Holy One, Blessed be He, "Every day that we are enslaved, we are ashamed. But our redemption will not cause us shame, for your redemption is the redemption of the world. You are the salvation of the world." The term "world" is used, not "worlds." The Holy One, Blessed be He, said, "I am the one who redeemed you, and I am the one who will redeem you, as it is said (Isaiah 43:1), 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you.' It is written not 'I have redeemed you' but 'I have redeemed you.' I have spoken and done it. The Holy One, Blessed be He, said, "I have said that I will redeem you as I have redeemed you before." As it is written (Jeremiah 31:10), "For the Lord has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hands of his conqueror." It is not written here 'him' but 'his redeemer.' The children of Israel said before Him, "We have already been redeemed by Moses, and likewise by Joshua, and also by the judges and kings, and yet we are still subject to servitude and we are ashamed as if we were never redeemed." The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to them, "In the past, your redemption was by human agents, but now it is by Me alone, for I am alive and will exist forever. Therefore, your redemption is the redemption of the world." As it is said (Isaiah 45:17), "Israel shall be saved by the Lord, the salvation of the world." Therefore, you shall not be ashamed or disgraced forever. The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to them, "When you were young, you had the strength to be ashamed, but now that you are old and do not have the strength, you shall not be ashamed or disgraced." David, our Master, said that when the redemption comes, we will not be ashamed, as it is said, "In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge. Let me never be put to shame." (Psalm 71:1)...
