¹Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me, *
and consider my voice when I cry to you.

and keep the door of my lips.

⁴Search for the Lord and his strength; *

⁵Remember the marvels he has done, *
his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,

⁶O offspring of Abraham his servant, *
O children of Jacob his chosen.

⁷He is the Lord our God; *
his judgments prevail in all the world.

⁸He has always been mindful of his covenant, *
the promise he made for a thousand generations:

⁹The covenant he made with Abraham, *
the oath that he swore to Isaac,

¹⁰Which he established as a statute for Jacob, *
an everlasting covenant for Israel,

⁴“Listen to me, my people;
    and hear me, my nation,
for a law will go out from me,
    and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
⁵My righteousness is near.
    My salvation has gone out,
    and my arms will judge the peoples.
The islands will wait for me,
    and they will trust my arm.
⁶Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish away like smoke,
    and the earth will wear out like a garment.
Its inhabitants will die in the same way,
    but my salvation will be forever,
    and my righteousness will not be abolished.

the round world, and those who dwell therein.
