Study note
Setting — Yahweh speaks as the conclusion of His oath in v.23 that every knee will bow and every tongue will swear allegiance. This is the confession that follows from that universal submission.
The words — צְדָק֣וֹת (tzedaqot, "righteousnesses") and עֹ֑ז ('oz, "strength") are paired as the two things found in Yahweh alone. The plural tzedaqot suggests not a single act of justification but the full scope of right standing.
The thread — Isaiah 41:11 and 54:17 echo the shaming of those who rage against God's people, and Philippians 4:13 picks up the strength motif in a personal, Christ-centered key.
Why it lands — It collapses the search for righteousness and power into a single source, and it names the end of every opposition to Him: shame.
