I looked around, but I saw no one to help me.
    I was surprised that no one supported me.
So I used my own power to save my people.
    My own anger supported me.
In my anger I trampled down the nations.
    I punished them in anger and spilled their blood[a] on the ground.”

The Lord Has Been Kind to His People

He has been very kind to us.
    He has shown us mercy.

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