⁹ Therefore justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not overtake us;
^(A)we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
    and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.

^13 (A)I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off,
    and my salvation will not delay;
^(B)I will put salvation in Zion,
    for Israel my glory.”

56 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
^(A)for soon my salvation will come,
    and my deliverance be revealed.
