5
My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth , and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust .
6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in likemanner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished .
7
Hearken unto me, ye that knowrighteousness, the people in whose heart is my law;fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
8
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
9
Awake , awake , put onstrength, O arm of the LORD;awake , as in the ancientdays, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cutRahab, and wounded the dragon?
10
Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the greatdeep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over ?
11
Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return , and come with singing unto Zion; and everlastingjoy shall be upon their head: they shall obtaingladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away .
12
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die , and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
13
And forgettest the LORD thy maker , that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast fearedcontinually every daybecause of the fury of the oppressor , as if he were ready to destroy ? and where is the fury of the oppressor ?
14
The captive exilehasteneth that he may be loosed , and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail .
15
But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose wavesroared : The LORD of hosts is his name.
