51 Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
you who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were cut,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.

⁴ Pay attention to me, my people,
and listen to me, my nation;
for instruction will come from me,
and my justice for a light to the nations.^(A)
I will bring it about quickly.

⁷ Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is my instruction:^(A)
do not fear disgrace by men,
and do not be shattered by their taunts.
