16
And He saw that there was (A)no man,
And was astonished that there was no one to intercede;
Then His (B)own arm brought salvation to Him,
And His righteousness upheld Him.
17
He put on (C)righteousness like a breastplate,
And a (D)helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on (E)garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with (F)zeal as a mantle.
18
(G)According to their (a)deeds, (b)so He will repay,
Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will (c)make recompense.
