Isaiah 51:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ “Listen to me, you that know what is right,
    who have my teaching fixed in your hearts.
Do not be afraid when people taunt and insult you;
⁸     they will vanish like moth-eaten clothing!
But the deliverance I bring will last forever;
    my victory will endure for all time.”

⁹ Wake up, Lord, and help us!
Use your power and save us;
    use it as you did in ancient times.
It was you that cut the sea monster Rahab^[a] to pieces.
