4  aHearken unto me, my people;

And pgive ear unto me, O my nation:

For qa law shall proceed from me,

And I will rmake my judgment to rest sfor a light of the people.

5  tMy righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth,

And umine arms shall judge the people;

vThe isles shall wait upon me,

And on mine arm shall they trust.

6  wLift up your eyes to the heavens,

And look upon the earth beneath:

For xthe heavens shall vanish away like smoke,

And ythe earth shall wax old like a garment,

And they that dwell therein shall die zin like manner:

But my salvation shall be for ever,

And my righteousness shall not be abolished.

7  aHearken unto me, ye that know righteousness,

The people bin whose heart is my law;

cFear ye not the reproach of men,

Neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

8  For dthe moth shall eat them up like a garment,

And the worm shall eat them like wool:

But my righteousness shall be for ever,

And my salvation from generation to generation.
