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)

⁸ For the moth will eat them up like a garment;^(A)
    the worm^(B) will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,^(C)
    my salvation through all generations.”

²⁶ They will perish,^(A) but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
    and they will be discarded.
