⁴¹ if I ^(A)sharpen my flashing sword^[a]
    and my hand takes hold on judgement,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
    and will repay those who hate me.
⁴² I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
    and ^(B)my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
    from the ^(C)long-haired heads of the enemy.’
^43 (D)“Rejoice with him, O heavens;
    bow down to him, all gods,^[b]
for he ^(E)avenges the blood of his children^[c]
    and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him^[d]
    and cleanses^[e] his people's land.”^[f]
