16 And He saw that there was no ish (man), and was appalled that there was no Mafgi’a (Intercessor); therefore His own Zero’a (Arm) wrought Salvation unto Him; and His own tzedakah (righteousness) He relied on [Isa 53:1; Jer 23:6].

17 For He put on tzedakah as breastplate armor, and a helmet of Yeshuah (Salvation, Saving Power) upon His rosh; and He put on the bigdei nakam (garments of vengeance) for a uniform, and was clad with kinah (zeal) as a me’il (mantle, cloak).

18 According to their gemulot (deeds, dealings), so He will repay, chemah (fury, wrath) to His adversaries, gemul (recompence) to His oyevim (enemies); to the iyim (islands) He will repay gemul (recompence, due).

16 He saw that there was no one,(A)
    he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(B)
so his own arm achieved salvation(C) for him,
    and his own righteousness(D) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(E)
    and the helmet(F) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(G) of vengeance(H)
    and wrapped himself in zeal(I) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
    so will he repay(J)
wrath to his enemies
    and retribution to his foes;
    he will repay the islands(K) their due.
