"In your righteousness, save me and deliver me," said the assembly of Israel to our Master, the Creator of the world. When you save me, it is not because of my righteousness or deeds, but solely based on your righteousness, both today and tomorrow. In your righteousness, I am destined to be redeemed, as it is written, "He saw that there was no man and was amazed that there was no one to intercede, and His arm brought Him salvation, and His righteousness supported Him" (Isaiah 59:16).
"In your righteousness, save me and deliver me." Incline your ear to me and save me. If you turn to save me, it is like salvation for the needy, as it is written, "For He has inclined His ear to me, and I shall call on Him as long as I live" (Psalms 116:2). Similarly, Hezekiah said, "Incline, O Lord, Your ear and hear" (2 Kings 19:16), and because He inclined to save him, he said, "Incline, O Lord, Your ear and hear."
