21 Declare and present your case;

let them take counsel together!

Who told this long ago?

Who declared it of old?

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no other god besides me,

a righteous God and a Savior;

there is none besides me.

22 “Turn to me and be saved,

all the ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

23 By myself I have sworn,

from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness

a word that shall not return:

‘To me every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear.’

24 “Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,

are righteousness and strength;

to him shall come and be ashamed,

all who were incensed against him.

25 In the Lord all the offspring of Israel

shall triumph and glory.”
