For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people);
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.

She will be brought to the King in embroidered garments;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.

God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved;
God will help her when the morning dawns.

“The kings of the [enemies’] armies flee, they flee,
And the beautiful woman who remains at home divides the spoil [left behind].”

The bird has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.

And shed innocent blood,
Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with their blood.
