Deuteronomy 32:41-43

The Song of Moses

⁴¹ if I _l sharpen my flashing sword ₁
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
⁴² I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and _m my sword shall devour flesh -
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the _n long-haired heads of the enemy.'

⁴³ _o "Rejoice with him, O heavens;
bow down to him, all gods, ₂
for he _p avenges the blood of his children ₃
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him ₄
and cleanses ₅ his people's land." ₆
