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?
10 Are you not the one who dried up the sea,
    the waters of the great deep,
the one who made[d] the depths of the sea a way
    for those who are redeemed to cross over?
