This can be stated in active form. AT: "and do not lose your courage when they hurt you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool
God speaks of people who abuse those who are righteous as if they were wool garments, and of their being destroyed as if insects ate them. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
my righteousness will be forever
God's "righteousness" here represents him ruling righteously. AT: "my righteous rule will be forever" or "I will rule righteously forever" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
and my salvation to all generations
God's "salvation" here represents the result of his salvation, which is freedom. Being "to all generations" represents lasting forever. AT: "I will save you, and you will be free forever" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
