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.
My righteousness is close at hand; my salvation has gone out, and my strong arms will bring justice to the nations; distant lands will look to me with hope, and they will put their trust in my power.
God is declaring that His justice and salvation are coming soon, and people from all nations will look to Him for hope and deliverance.
