·I chose a time to punish people [L …for the day of vengeance was in my heart],
    and the ·time [year] has come for me to ·save [redeem].
I looked around, but I saw no one to help me.
    I was ·surprised [shocked; appalled] that no one supported me [59:16].
So ·I used my own power to save my people [L my own arm accomplished salvation/victory];
    my own ·anger [wrath] ·supported [sustained; upheld] me.
While I was angry, I ·walked on the [trampled] nations.
    In my ·anger [wrath] I ·punished them [made them drunk; 49:26; 51:23]
and poured their ·blood [L juice] on the ·ground [earth].”

It was for me the day of vengeance;(A)
    the year for me to redeem had come.

    and poured their blood(G) on the ground.”
