Deuteronomy 32:36-43

New American Standard Bible

^36 (A)For the Lord will vindicate His people,
^(B)And will have compassion on His servants,
When He sees that their ^[a]strength is gone,
And there is none remaining, bond or free.
³⁷ And He will say, ‘^(C)Where are their gods,
The rock in which they took refuge?
^38 (D)Those who ate the fat of their sacrifices,
And drank the wine of their drink offering?
^(E)Let them rise up and help you,
Let them be your protection!
^39 (F)See now that I, I am He,
^(G)And there is no god besides Me;
^(H)It is I who put to death and give life.
^(I)I have wounded and it is I who heal,
^(J)And there is no one who can save anyone from My hand.
⁴⁰ Indeed, ^(K)I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, as I live forever,
^41 (L)If I have sharpened ^[b]My flashing sword,
And My hand has taken hold of justice,
^(M)I will return vengeance on My adversaries,
And I will repay those who hate Me.
^42 (N)I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
^(O)And My sword will devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the long-haired ^[c]leaders of the enemy.’
^43 (P)Rejoice, you nations, with His people;
^(Q)For He will avenge the blood of His servants,
^(R)And will return vengeance on His adversaries,
^(S)And will atone for His land and His people.”
