6 Look up to the heavens,

and look at the earth beneath;

for the heavens will vanish like smoke,

the earth will wear out like a garment,

and its inhabitants will die like gnats.E,n

But my salvation will last forever,o

and my righteousness will never be shattered.

7 Listen to me, you who know righteousness,

the people in whose heart is my instruction:p

do not fear disgrace by men,

and do not be shattered by their taunts.
