23By myself I have sworn;i

truth has gone from my mouth,j

a word that will not be revoked:

Every knee will bowk to me,

every tongue will swear allegiance.

24It will be said about me, ‘Righteousness and strength

are found only in the Lord.’ ”

All who are enraged against him

will come to him and be put to shame.l

Even to him shall men come;

And all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
