37 He will say, Where are their gods,the rock in whom they took refuge,
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrificesand drank the wine of their libations?Let them rise up now and help you!Let them be your protection!
39 See now that I, I alone, am he,and there is no god besides me.It is I who bring both death and life,I who inflict wounds and heal them,and from my hand no one can deliver.
40 For I raise my hand to the heavensand will say: As surely as I live forever,
41 When I sharpen my flashing sword,and my hand lays hold of judgment,With vengeance I will repay my foesand 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 captured,from the long-haired heads of the enemy.
43 Exult with him, you heavens,bow to him, all you divine beings!For he will avenge the blood of his servants,take vengeance on his foes;He will requite those who hate him,and purge his people’s land.
