My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.

The verse 5 is found in chapter 51 of Isaiah. The people are called to look to Abraham and Sarah as the origin of their identity. God can turn a wilderness into a garden, and his righteousness can reach the peoples. The exhortation to lift their eyes shifts attention from present fragility toward the permanence of divine salvation and justice.

Denn meine Gerechtigkeit ist nahe, mein Heil zieht aus, und meine Arme werden die Völker richten. Die Inseln harren auf mich und warten auf meinen Arm.
Cercana está mi justicia, salido ha mi salud, y mis brazos juzgarán a los pueblos: a mí esperarán las islas, y en mi brazo pondrán su esperanza.
Mi justicia está cerca, mi salvación ha salido y mis brazos juzgarán a los pueblos. Las islas esperan en mí y ponen su esperanza en mi brazo.
Ma justice est proche, mon salut va paraître, Et mes bras jugeront les peuples; Les îles espéreront en moi, Elles se confieront en mon bras.
La mia giustizia è vicina; la mia salute è uscita fuori, e le mie braccia giudicheranno i popoli; le isole mi aspetteranno, e spereranno nel mio braccio.
Perto está a minha justiça, vem saindo a minha salvação, e os meus braços julgarão os povos; as ilhas me aguardarão, e no meu braço esperarão.
我的公義臨近, 我的救恩發出。 我的膀臂要審判萬民, 眾海島都要等候我,倚賴我的膀臂。
