he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;

so his own arm achieved salvation for him,

and his own righteousness sustained him.

and wondered that there was no one to intercede;

then his own arm brought him salvation,

and his righteousness upheld him.

And wondered that there was no intercessor:

Therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;

And his righteousness, it sustained him.

to help the oppressed.

So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm,

and his justice sustained him.

And wondered that there was no intercessor;

Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him;

And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.

and he was surprised that there was no one to help.

So he used his own power to save the people;

his own goodness gave him strength.

16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.
