My righteousness is near,(A)
my salvation appears,
and my arms will bring justice to the nations.(B)
The coasts and islands will put their hope in me,
and they will look to my strength.[a]
Look up to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment,
and its inhabitants will die like gnats.[b](C)
But my salvation will last forever,(D)
and my righteousness will never be shattered.
Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is my instruction:(E)
do not fear disgrace by men,
and do not be shattered by their taunts.
