For the day of vengeance was in my mind,
    and the year for my redeeming work had come.(A)
I looked, but there was no helper;
    I was abandoned, and there was no one to sustain me,

    I crushed them[a] in my wrath,
    and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”(C)

  1. 63.6 Heb mss: MT I made them drunk

It was for me the day of vengeance;(A)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
I looked, but there was no one(B) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm(C) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.(D)
I trampled(E) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk(F)
    and poured their blood(G) on the ground.”
