(A)“I have trodden the winepress alone,
    (B)and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
    and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood[a] spattered on my garments,

(C)For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
    and my year of redemption[b] had come.
I looked, but (D)there was no one to help;

so my own arm brought me salvation,

I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
