“You people who know what is right should listen to me;
    you people who follow my teachings should hear what I say.
Don’t be afraid of the evil things people say,
    and don’t be upset by their insults.
Moths will eat those people as if they were clothes,
    and worms will eat them as if they were wool.
But my goodness will continue forever,
    and my salvation will continue from now on.”

Wake up, wake up, and use your strength,
    powerful Lord.
Wake up as you did in the old times,
    as you did a long time ago.
With your own power, you cut Rahab into pieces
    and killed that sea monster.

    the worm(E) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,(F)
    my salvation through all generations.”

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)

    who pierced that monster(L) through?
