16 And He saw that there was (A)no man,
And was astonished that there was no one to intercede;
Then His (B)own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.

And a (D)helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on (E)garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with (F)zeal as a mantle.

Wrath to His adversaries, [c]what is deserved to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will [d]pay what they deserve.
