The Servant’s Vindication

The one who vindicates me is near.
    Who, then, will bring a charge against me?
        Let’s face each other!
Who has a case against me?
    Let him confront me!
See! It is the Lord God who will help me.
    Who is it that will declare me guilty?
See! They will all wear out like a garment;
    moths will eat them up.
10 Who among you fears[a] the Lord,
    obeying the voice of his servant,
who among you[b] walks[c] in darkness[d]
    and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the Lord,
    and rely upon his God.
