near--antithetical to "far" (Isa 46:12; Isa 51:5; Isa 56:1; Isa 61:10-11; Rom 10:6-8). righteousness--answering to "salvation" in the parallel clause; therefore it means here, "my righteous deliverance"; righteous, because proving the truth of God's promises, and so contrived as to not compromise, but vindicate, His righteousness (Isa 42:21; Rom 3:26).
