5  ^lMy righteousness draws near,

my salvation has gone out,

and my arms will judge the peoples;

^mthe coastlands hope for me,

and for my arm they wait.

1  Thus says the Lord:

“Keep justice, and do righteousness,

^wfor soon my salvation will come,

and my righteousness be revealed.

9  Surely his ^bsalvation is near to those who fear him,

that ^cglory may dwell in our land.
