My salvation has gone forth,
bAnd My arms will judge the peoples;
cThe coastlands will wait upon Me,
And don My arm they will trust.
And look on the earth beneath.
For bthe heavens will vanish away like smoke,
cThe earth will grow old like a garment,
And those who dwell in it will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be dforever,
And My righteousness will not be1 abolished.
You people ain whose heart is My law:
bDo not fear the reproach of men,
Nor be afraid of their insults.
And the worm will eat them like wool;
But My righteousness will be forever,
And My salvation from generation to generation.”
O arm of the Lord!
Awake cas in the ancient days,
In the generations of old.
dAre You not the arm that cut eRahab apart,
And wounded the fserpent?
The waters of the great deep;
That made the depths of the sea a road
For the redeemed to cross over?
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness;
Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Who are you that you should be afraid
bOf a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made clike grass?
bWho stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
cAnd where is the fury of the oppressor?
aThat he should not die in the pit,
And that his bread should not fail.
Who adivided the sea whose waves roared—
The Lord of hosts is His name.

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness - My people who are acquainted with my law, and who are to be saved. This is addressed to the pious parlor the Jewish nation.
Fear ye not the reproach of men - If we have the promise of God, and the assurance of his favor, we shall have no occasion to dread the reproaches and the scoffs of people (compare Matthew 10:28).
