“My people, listen to me;
    my nation, pay attention to me.
·I will give the people my teachings [L Law/Instruction/Torah will go out from me],
    and my ·decisions [justice] will be like a light to the ·people [nations].
·I will soon show that I do what is right [L My righteousness/justice draws near].
    ·I will soon save you [L My salvation goes out].
    ·I will use my power and [L My arms will] judge the nations.
The ·faraway places [or islands; or coastlands] are ·waiting for [looking to; hoping in] me;
    they wait for my ·power to help them [L arm].
·Look up [L Lift your eyes] to the heavens [40:26].
    Look at the earth below.
The skies will disappear like clouds of smoke.
    The earth will ·become useless [wear out] like old clothes [Ps. 102:26],
    and its people will die like flies.
But my salvation will continue forever,
    and my ·goodness [righteousness] will never end.
