4. I planned the day of vengeance.The year for my reclaiming ⌊you⌋ has come.
5. I looked, but there was no help.I was astounded that there was no ⌊outside⌋ support.So with my own power I won a victory.My anger supported me.
6. In my anger I trampled on people.In my wrath I made them drunkand poured their blood on the ground.”
7. I will acknowledge the Lord’s acts of mercy,and ⌊sing⌋ the praises of the Lord,because of everything that the Lord has done for us.He has done many good things for the nation of Israelbecause of his compassion and his unlimited mercy.
8. He said, “They are my people,children who will not lie to me.”So he became their Savior.
