² He has set My ^(A)mouth like a sharp sword;
In the ^(B)shadow of His hand He has concealed Me;
And He has also set Me as a ^[a]select ^(C)arrow;
He has hidden Me in His quiver.
³ He said to Me, “^(D)You are My Servant, Israel,
^(E)In Whom I will ^[b]show forth My beautiful glory.”
⁴ But I said, “I have ^(F)toiled in vain;
I have spent My might for ^[c]nothing and vanity;
Yet surely the justice due to Me is with Yahweh,
And My ^(G)reward with My God.”
