16 He saw that there was no one,
    and was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm brought him victory,
    and his righteousness upheld him.

    and a helmet of salvation on his head;

    wrath to his adversaries, requital to his enemies;
    to the coastlands he will render requital.
