Wrath to His adversaries, retribution to His enemies;
To the islands and coastlands He will repay.

And His glory from the rising of the sun.
For He will come in like a narrow, rushing stream
Which the [a]breath of the Lord drives [overwhelming the enemy].(A)

And to those in Jacob (Israel) who turn from transgression (sin),” declares the Lord.
