³⁴ “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
    ^(A)sealed up in my treasuries?
^35 (B)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,^{[a]
    (C)}for the time when their foot shall slip;
for ^(D)the day of their calamity is at hand,
    and their doom comes swiftly.’
³⁶ For ^(E)the Lord will vindicate^[b] his people
    ^(F)and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
    and there is none remaining, ^(G)bond or free.
³⁷ Then he will say, ^(H)‘Where are their gods,
    ^(I)the rock in which they took refuge,
³⁸ who ate the fat of their sacrifices
    and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
    let them be your protection!

³⁹ “‘See now that ^(J)I, even I, am he,
    and there is no god beside me;
^(K)I kill and I make alive;
    ^(L)I wound and I heal;
    and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
⁴⁰ For ^(M)I lift up my hand to heaven
    and swear, As I live forever,
⁴¹ if I ^(N)sharpen my flashing sword^[c]
    and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
    and will repay those who hate me.
⁴² I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
    and ^(O)my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
    from the ^(P)long-haired heads of the enemy.’

^43 (Q)“Rejoice with him, O heavens;^[d]
    bow down to him, all gods,^[e]
for he ^(R)avenges the blood of his children^[f]
    and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him^[g]
    and cleanses^[h] his people's land.”^[i]
