I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies.
    The year for me to set my people free had come.
I looked around, but no one was there to help me.
    I was shocked that no one gave me any help.
So I used my own power to save my people.

I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them.
    I made them drink from the cup of my great anger.
    I poured out their blood on the ground.”

    and my own wrath sustained me.(D)

    in my wrath I made them drunk(F)
    and poured their blood(G) on the ground.”
