⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
    look at the earth beneath;
the heavens will vanish like smoke,^(A)
    the earth will wear out like a garment^(B)
    and its inhabitants die like flies.
But my salvation^(C) will last forever,^(D)
    my righteousness will never fail.^(E)

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.^(A)

¹¹ They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.^(A)
