41 if I whet my glittering sword,[a]
    and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries,
    and will requite those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
    and my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
    from the long-haired heads of the enemy.’

43 “Praise his people, O you nations;
    for he avenges the blood of his servants,
and takes vengeance on his adversaries,
    and makes expiation for the land of his people.”[b]
