40 When I shall lift up my hand to the heavens and shall say, I live for ever,

41 if I whet the resplendence of my sword and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to my enemies and will recompense those that hate me.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh, in the blood of the slain and of the captives of the heads, in revenge as an enemy.

40 I lift my hand(A) to heaven and solemnly swear:
    As surely as I live forever,(B)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(C)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(D) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.(E)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(F)
    while my sword devours flesh:(G)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”
