Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
    people who have my teaching in their heart;
you must not fear the reproach of men,
    or be terrified because of their abuse.
For a moth will eat them like garments;
    a moth will devour[a] them like wool,
but[b] my righteousness will be forever,
    and my salvation for generation after generation.[c]
Awake! Awake; put on strength, O arm of Yahweh!
    Awake as in days of long ago,
        the generations of a long time back!
Are you not the one who cut Rahab in pieces,
    the one who pierced the sea-dragon?
