²⁶ “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,^(A)
    who rides^(B) across the heavens to help you^(C)
    and on the clouds^(D) in his majesty.^(E)
27 The eternal^(F) God is your refuge,^(G)
    and underneath are the everlasting^(H) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,^(I)
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’^(J)
28 So Israel will live in safety;^(K)
    Jacob will dwell^[a] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.^(L)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!^(M)
    Who is like you,^(N)
    a people saved by the Lord?^(O)
He is your shield and helper^(P)
    and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
    and you will tread on their heights.^(Q)”

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(A) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(B) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(C)
their blood spattered my garments,^(D)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(E)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(F) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(G) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(H)
6 I trampled^(I) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk^(J)
    and poured their blood^(K) on the ground.”

⁵ They come from faraway lands,
    from the ends of the heavens^(A)—
the Lord and the weapons^(B) of his wrath^(C)—
    to destroy^(D) the whole country.

³ I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
    I have summoned my warriors^(A) to carry out my wrath^(B)—
    those who rejoice^(C) in my triumph.

⁴ Listen, a noise on the mountains,
    like that of a great multitude!^(D)
Listen, an uproar^(E) among the kingdoms,
    like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty^(F) is mustering^(G)
    an army for war.
⁵ They come from faraway lands,
    from the ends of the heavens^(H)—
the Lord and the weapons^(I) of his wrath^(J)—
    to destroy^(K) the whole country.

⁶ Wail,^(A) for the day^(B) of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction^(C) from the Almighty.^[a](D)
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,^(E)
    every heart will melt with fear.^(F)
8 Terror^(G) will seize them,
    pain and anguish will grip^(H) them;
    they will writhe like a woman in labor.^(I)
They will look aghast at each other,
    their faces aflame.^(J)

⁹ See, the day^(K) of the Lord is coming
    —a cruel^(L) day, with wrath^(M) and fierce anger^(N)—
to make the land desolate
    and destroy the sinners within it.
¹⁰ The stars of heaven and their constellations
    will not show their light.^(O)
The rising sun^(P) will be darkened^(Q)
    and the moon will not give its light.^(R)
11 I will punish^(S) the world for its evil,
    the wicked^(T) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty^(U)
    and will humble^(V) the pride of the ruthless.^(W)
12 I will make people^(X) scarcer than pure gold,
    more rare than the gold of Ophir.^(Y)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;^(Z)
    and the earth will shake^(AA) from its place
at the wrath^(AB) of the Lord Almighty,
    in the day of his burning anger.^(AC)

¹⁵ See, the Lord is coming with fire,^(A)
    and his chariots^(B) are like a whirlwind;^(C)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
    and his rebuke^(D) with flames of fire.
¹⁶ For with fire^(E) and with his sword^(F)
    the Lord will execute judgment^(G) on all people,
    and many will be those slain^(H) by the Lord.
