⁷ “Hear me, you who know what is right,^(A)
    you people who have taken my instruction to heart:^(B)
Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals
    or be terrified by their insults.^(C)
8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment;^(D)
    the worm^(E) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,^(F)
    my salvation through all generations.”

⁹ Awake, awake,^(G) arm^(H) of the Lord,
    clothe yourself with strength!^(I)
Awake, as in days gone by,
    as in generations of old.^(J)
Was it not you who cut Rahab^(K) to pieces,
    who pierced that monster^(L) through?
