I will soon save you and show that I am fair.
    I will use my power and judge all nations.
All the faraway places are waiting for me.
    They wait for my power to help them.
Look up to the heavens!
    Look around you at the earth below!
The skies will disappear like clouds of smoke.
    The earth will become like worthless old clothes.
The people on earth will die,
    but my salvation will continue forever.
    My goodness will never end.
You people who understand goodness should listen to me.
    You people who follow my teachings should hear the things I say.
Don’t be afraid of evil people.
    Don’t let their insults upset you.

    my righteousness will never fail.(J)
