“My people, listen to me.
    My nation, pay attention to me.
I will give the people my teachings.
    And my decisions will be like a light to all people.
I will soon show I do what is right.
    I will soon save you.
    I will use my power and judge all nations.
All the faraway places are waiting for me.
    They wait for my power to help them.
Look up to the heavens.
    Look around you at the earth below.
The skies will disappear like clouds of smoke.
    The earth will become useless like old clothes.
    Its people will die like flies.
But my salvation will continue forever.
    My goodness will never end.

“Listen to me, my people;(A)
    hear me,(B) my nation:
Instruction(C) will go out from me;
    my justice(D) will become a light to the nations.(E)
My righteousness draws near speedily,
    my salvation(F) is on the way,(G)
    and my arm(H) will bring justice to the nations.
The islands(I) will look to me
    and wait in hope(J) for my arm.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,(K)
    the earth will wear out like a garment(L)
    and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation(M) will last forever,(N)
    my righteousness will never fail.(O)

Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
