38. who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39. See now that I, I am he, and there are no gods with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; and there is not one that can deliver out of my hand.

41. if I whet the resplendence of my sword and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to my enemies and will recompense those that hate me.
