Moths will eat them like clothing.
    Worms will devour them like wool.
    But my righteousness will last forever,
    and my salvation will last throughout every generation.

Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O Yahweh!
    Wake up as you did in days long past, as in generations long ago.
    Didn’t you cut Rahab[a] into pieces and stab the serpent?
10 Didn’t you dry up the sea, the water of the great ocean?
    You made a road in the depths of the sea
        so that the people reclaimed by the Lord
            might pass through it.
