^7 (A)“Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
    the people ^(B)in whose heart is my law;
^(C)fear not the reproach of man,
    nor be dismayed at their revilings.
^8 (D)For the moth will eat them up like a garment,
    and the worm will eat them like wool,
^(E)but my righteousness will be forever,
    and my salvation to all generations.”

^9 (F)Awake, awake, ^(G)put on strength,
    O ^(H)arm of the Lord;
awake, ^(I)as in days of old,
    the generations of long ago.
Was it not you who cut ^(J)Rahab in pieces,
    who pierced ^(K)the dragon?
