10 The Lord has (A)brought [a]about our vindication;
Come and let’s (B)recount in Zion
The work of the Lord our God!

11 (C)Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers!
The Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes,
Because His plan is against Babylon to destroy it;
For it is the (D)vengeance of the Lord, vengeance for His temple.
12 (E)Lift up a signal flag against the walls of Babylon;
Post a strong guard,
Station [b]sentries,
Set up an ambush!
For the Lord has both (F)planned and performed
What He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
