4 It was for me the day of vengeance;

the year for me to redeem had come.

5 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.

6 I trampled the nations in my anger;

in my wrath I made them drunk

and poured their blood on the ground.”

4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,

and my year of redemption had come.

5 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.

6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger;

I made them drunk in my wrath,

and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, And the year of my redeemed is come. 5 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. 6 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.

4 For the time has come for me to avenge my people,

to ransom them from their oppressors.

5 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.

6 I crushed the nations in my anger

and made them stagger and fall to the ground,

spilling their blood upon the earth.”

4 I chose a time to punish people,

and the time has come for me to save.

5 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.

6 While I was angry, I walked on the nations.

In my anger I punished them

and poured their blood on the ground.”

4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 5 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 wrath, it upheld me. 6 And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come. 5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 6 And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.

4 I planned the day of vengeance. 

The year for my reclaiming ⸤you⸥ has come. 

5 I looked, but there was no help. 

I was astounded that there was no ⸤outside⸥ support. 

So with my own power I won a victory. 

My anger supported me. 

6 In my anger I trampled on people. 

In my wrath I made them drunk 

and poured their blood on the ground.” 

4 For I planned the day of vengeance,

and the year of My redemption came.

5 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.

6 I crushed nations in My anger;

I made them drunk with My wrath

and poured out their blood on the ground.

4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart,

and the year for my redeeming work had come.

5 I looked, but there was no helper;

I stared, but there was no one to sustain me;

so my own arm brought me victory,

and my wrath sustained me.

6 I trampled down peoples in my anger,

I crushed them in my wrath,

and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

4 for the day of vengeance was in my heart,

and the year of my blood-vengeance has come!

5 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.

6 And I trampled peoples in my anger,

and I made them drunk in my wrath,

and I brought their juice down to the earth.”

4 I decided it was time to pay Israel’s enemies back.

The year for me to set my people free had come.

5 I looked around, but no one was there to help me.

I was shocked that no one gave me any help.

So I used my own powerful arm to save my people.

I had the strength to do it because I was angry.

6 I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them.

I made them drink from the cup of my burning anger.

I poured their blood out on the ground.”

4 “For the day of vengeance was in My heart,

And My year of redemption has come.

5 “I looked, and there was no one to help,

And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;

So My own arm brought salvation to Me,

And My wrath upheld Me.

6 “I trod down the peoples in My anger

And made them drunk in My wrath,

And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
