6. Look up to the heavens,and gaze at the earth beneath.The heavens will disappear like smoke,the earth will wear out like clothing,and its inhabitants will die like gnats.But my salvation will endure forever,and my righteousness will be unbroken.
7. Listen to me, you who know what is right,people who carry my teaching in your heart:Don’t fear human scorn,and don’t be upset when they abuse you.
8. The moth will eat them as if they were clothing,and the worm will eat them like wool,but my righteousness is forever,and my salvation for all generations.
9. Awake, awake, put on strength,arm of the Lord.Awake as in times past,generations long ago.Aren’t you the one who crushed Rahab,who pierced the dragon?
10. Didn’t you dry up the sea,the waters of the great deep?And didn’t you make the redeemed a road to crossthrough the depths of the sea,a road for the redeemed to pass?
