when he sees that their power is gone,
neither bond nor free remaining.(A)

and drank the wine of their libations?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 See now that I, even I, am he;
there is no god besides me.
I kill, and I make alive;
I wound, and I heal;
and no one can deliver from my hand.(C)
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41 when I whet my flashing sword
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.(D)
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 enemy.’(E)
43 Praise, O heavens,[a] his people;
worship him, all you gods![b]
For he will avenge the blood of his children[c]
and take vengeance on his adversaries;
he will repay those who hate him[d]
and cleanse the land for his people.”[e](F)
