²¹ Therefore ^(A)deliver up their children to famine;
    give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless ^(B)and widowed.
    May their men meet death by pestilence,
    their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.

⁶ Let ^(A)the high praises of God be in their throats
    and ^(B)two-edged swords in their hands,
⁷ to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishments on the peoples,
⁸ to bind their kings with ^(C)chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
⁹ to execute on them the judgment ^(D)written!
    ^(E)This is honor for all his godly ones.
^(F)Praise the Lord!

⁷ Some trust in ^(A)chariots and some in ^(B)horses,
    ^(C)but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
⁸ They collapse and fall,
    but we rise and stand upright.

⁴⁷ the God who gave me vengeance
    and ^(A)subdued peoples under me,
⁴⁸ who rescued me from my enemies;
    yes, you ^(B)exalted me above those who rose against me;
    you delivered me from ^(C)the man of violence.

³⁴ He ^(A)trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
³⁵ You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your right hand ^(B)supported me,
    and your ^(C)gentleness made me great.
³⁶ You ^(D)gave a wide place for my steps under me,
    and my feet did not slip.
³⁷ I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
    and did not turn back till they were consumed.
³⁸ I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise;
    they fell under my feet.
³⁹ For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
    you made those who rise against me sink under me.
⁴⁰ You made my enemies ^(E)turn their backs to me,^[a]
    and those who hated me I destroyed.
