“Now have come the salvation^(B) and the power
    and the kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,^(C)
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
    has been hurled down.
¹¹ They triumphed over^(D) him
    by the blood of the Lamb^(E)
    and by the word of their testimony;^(F)
they did not love their lives so much
    as to shrink from death.^(G)

¹⁷     no weapon forged against you will prevail,^(A)
    and you will refute^(B) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants^(C) of the Lord,
    and this is their vindication^(D) from me,”
declares the Lord.

⁸ He who vindicates^(A) me is near.^(B)
    Who then will bring charges against me?^(C)
    Let us face each other!^(D)
Who is my accuser?
    Let him confront me!
⁹ It is the Sovereign Lord^(E) who helps^(F) me.
    Who will condemn^(G) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
    the moths^(H) will eat them up.
