^5 (A)My righteousness draws near,
    my salvation has gone out,
    and my arms will judge the peoples;
^(B)the coastlands hope for me,
    and for my arm they wait.
^6 (C)Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    and look at the earth beneath;
^(D)for the heavens vanish like smoke,
    the earth will wear out like a garment,
    and they who dwell in it will die in like manner;^[a]
(E)but my salvation will be forever,
    and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
