I made them drunk13 in my rage,

I splashed their blood on the ground.”14

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I looked, but there was no one to help;

I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;

so my own arm brought me salvation,

and my wrath upheld me.

I trampled down the peoples in my anger;

I made them drunk in my wrath,

and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I looked, but there was no one to help,

I was appalled that no one gave support;

so my own arm achieved salvation for me,

and my own wrath sustained me.

I trampled the nations in my anger;

in my wrath I made them drunk

and poured their blood on the ground.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I looked, but there was no one to help,

and I was amazed that no one assisted;

so my arm accomplished victory for me,

and my wrath assisted me.

I crushed nations in my anger;

I made them drunk with my wrath

and poured out their blood on the ground.

NLTNew Living Translation

I was amazed to see that no one intervened

to help the oppressed.

So I myself stepped in to save them with my strong arm,

and my wrath sustained me.

I crushed the nations in my anger

and made them stagger and fall to the ground,

spilling their blood upon the earth.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And I looked, but there was no helper,

and I was appalled, but there was no one who sustains,

so my arm came to assist me,

and my wrath was what sustained me.

And I trampled peoples in my anger,

and I made them drunk in my wrath,

and I brought their juice down to the earth.”

KJV 1900King James Version

And I looked, and there was none to help;

And I wondered that there was none to uphold:

Therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me;

And my fury, it upheld me.

And I will tread down the people in mine anger,

And make them drunk in my fury,

And I will bring down their strength to the earth.
