56 Thus says the Lord:
    Maintain justice, and do what is right,
for soon my salvation will come
    and my deliverance be revealed.^(A)

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty one
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
I dwell in the high and holy place
    and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.^(A)

² All these things my hand has made,
    so all these things are mine,^[a]
            says the Lord.
But this is the one to whom I will look,
    to the humble and contrite in spirit
    who trembles at my word.^(A)

⁶ For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
    the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.^(A)

⁶ But as for you, return to your God;
    hold fast to love and justice,
    and wait continually for your God.^(A)
