You have multiplied exultation;[a]
    you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
    as with joy at the harvest,
    as people exult when dividing plunder.(A)
For the yoke of their burden
    and the bar across their shoulders,

    and all the garments rolled in blood
    shall be burned as fuel for the fire.(C)

    you have shattered(E)
the yoke(F) that burdens them,
    the bar across their shoulders,(G)
    the rod of their oppressor.(H)
Every warrior’s boot used in battle
    and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(I)
    will be fuel for the fire.
