Listen to Me, O My people;
    and give ear to Me, O My nation:
for a law shall proceed from Me,
    and I will set My justice as a light of the peoples.
My righteousness is near,
    My salvation has gone forth,
    and My arms shall judge the peoples;
the coastlands shall wait for Me,
    and for My arm they shall expectantly wait.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    and look on the earth beneath.
For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
    and the earth shall grow old like a garment,
    and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner;
but My salvation shall be forever,
    and My righteousness shall not be abolished.
