9  Behold, the Lord God helps me;

who will declare me guilty?

Behold, all of them will ^zwear out like a garment;

the ^amoth will eat them up.

6  ^lLift up your eyes to the heavens,

and look at the earth beneath;

for ^mthe heavens vanish like smoke,

the earth will wear out like a garment,

and they who dwell in it will die in like manner;¹

but my salvation will be forever,

and my righteousness will never be dismayed.
