For moths will eat them up just like a garment,
    and worms will devour them like wool;
but my deliverance will last[a] forever,
    and my salvation to all generations.

“Awake! Awake! Clothe yourself with strength,
    you arm[b] of the Lord!
Awake, as in days gone by,
    as in generations of long ago.
Was it not you who split apart[c] Rehob,[d]
    who pierced that sea monster through?[e]
10 Was it not you who dried up the sea,
    the waters of the great deep,
who made a road in[f] the depths of the sea
    so that the redeemed could cross over?”
