39. “‘Now, see that I, and only I, am God! There is no other God! I put people to death, and I let people live. I can hurt people, and I can make them well. No one can save another person from my power!
40. I raise my hand toward heaven and make this promise. As surely as I live forever, these things will happen!
41. I swear, I will sharpen my flashing sword. I will use it to punish my enemies. I will give them the punishment they deserve.
42. My enemies will be killed and taken as prisoners. My arrows will be covered with their blood. My sword will cut off the heads of their soldiers.’
43. “The whole world should be happy for God’s people! God punishes people who kill his servants. He gives his enemies the punishment they deserve. And he makes his land and people pure.”
44. Moses and Joshua son of Nun came and sang all the words of this song for the Israelites to hear.
