‘Vengeance ^H5359 is Mine, and retribution ^H8005;

In due time ^H6256 their foot ^H7272 will slip ^H4131.

For the day ^H3117 of their disaster ^H343 is near ^H7138,

And the impending ^H6264 things ^H6264 are hurrying ^H2363 to them.’

Then Samson ^H8123 called ^H7121 to the LORD ^H3068 and said ^H559, “Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068, please ^H4994 remember ^H2142 me and please ^H4994 strengthen ^H2388 me just ^H389 this ^H2088 time ^H6471, O God ^H430, that I may at once ^H259 take vengeance ^H5358 on the Philistines ^H6430 for my two ^H8147 eyes ^H5869.”

The God ^H410 who executes ^H5414 vengeance ^H5360 for me,

And brings ^H3381 down ^H3381 peoples ^H5971 under ^H8478 me,

The God ^H410 who executes ^H5414 vengeance ^H5360 for me,

And subdues ^H1696 peoples ^H5971 under ^H8478 me.

The righteous ^H6662 will rejoice ^H8055 when ^H3588 he sees ^H2372 vengeance ^H5359;

He will wash ^H7364 his feet ^H6471 in the blood ^H1818 of the wicked ^H7563.

Why ^H4100 should the nations ^H1471 say ^H559, “Where ^H346 is their God ^H430?”

Let vengeance ^H5360 for the blood ^H1818 of Your servants ^H5650 which has been shed ^H8210

Be known ^H3045 among the nations ^H1471 in our sight ^H5869.

LORD ^H3068, God ^H410 of [fn]vengeance ^H5360,

God ^H410 of [fn]vengeance ^H5360, [fn]shine ^H3313 forth ^H3313!

To execute ^H6213 vengeance ^H5360 on the nations ^H1471,

And punishment ^H8433 on the peoples ^H3816,

He put ^H3847 on ^H3847 righteousness ^H6666 like a breastplate ^H8302,

And a helmet ^H3553 of salvation ^H3444 on His head ^H7218;

And He put ^H3847 on ^H3847 garments ^H899 of vengeance ^H5359 for clothing ^H8516

And wrapped ^H5844 Himself with zeal ^H7068 as a cloak ^H4598.

For behold ^H2009, the LORD ^H3068 will come ^H935 in fire ^H784,

And His chariots ^H4818 like the whirlwind ^H5492,

To render ^H7725 His anger ^H639 with fury ^H2534,

And His rebuke ^H1606 with flames ^H3851 of fire ^H784.

But, LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, who judges ^H8199 righteously ^H6664,

Who puts ^H974 the [fn]feelings ^H3629 and the heart ^H3820 to ^H974 the ^H974 test ^H974,

Let me see ^H7200 Your vengeance ^H5360 on them,

For to You I have [fn]committed ^H1556 my cause ^H7379.

For I have heard ^H8085 the whispering ^H1681 of many ^H7227,

“Terror ^H4032 on every ^H5439 side ^H5439!

Denounce ^H5046 him; let’s denounce ^H5046 him!”

[fn]All ^H3605 my trusted ^H7965 friends ^H582 H7965,

Watching ^H8104 for my fall ^H6761, say:

“Perhaps ^H194 he will be persuaded ^H6601, so that we may prevail ^H3201 against him

And take ^H3947 our revenge ^H5360 on him.”

Yet, LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, who tests ^H974 the righteous ^H6662,

Who sees ^H7200 the [fn]mind ^H3629 and the heart ^H3820;

Let me see ^H7200 Your vengeance ^H5360 on them,

For to You I have disclosed ^H1540 my cause ^H7379.

For that day ^H3117 belongs to the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

A day ^H3117 of vengeance ^H5360, so as to avenge ^H5358 Himself on His foes ^H6862;

And the sword ^H2719 will devour ^H398 and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646,

And [fn]drink ^H7301 its fill ^H7301 of their blood ^H1818;

For there will be a slaughter ^H2077 for the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

In the land ^H776 of the north ^H6828 at the river ^H5104 Euphrates ^H6578.

“Also ^H1571 her mercenaries ^H7917 in her midst ^H7130

Are like fattened ^H4770 calves ^H5695,

For they too ^H1571 have turned ^H6437 away ^H6437 and have fled ^H5127 together ^H3162;

They did not stand ^H5975 their ground.

For the day ^H3117 of their disaster ^H343 has come ^H935 upon them,

The time ^H6256 of their punishment ^H6486.

“Raise ^H7321 your battle ^H7321 cry ^H7321 against ^H5921 her on every ^H5439 side ^H5439!

She has given ^H5414 [fn]herself ^H3027 up ^H5414, her towers ^H803 have fallen ^H5307,

Her walls ^H2346 have been torn ^H2040 down ^H2040.

For this ^H1931 is the vengeance ^H5360 of the LORD ^H3068:

Take ^H5358 vengeance ^H5358 on her;

As she has done ^H6213 to others, so do ^H6213 to her.

Put ^H2717 all ^H3605 her bulls ^H6499 to ^H2717 the ^H2717 sword ^H2717;

Let them go ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the slaughter ^H2874!

Woe ^H1945 be upon them, for their day ^H3117 has come ^H935,

The time ^H6256 of their punishment ^H6486.

“Behold ^H2009, I am against ^H413 you, [fn]arrogant ^H2087 one,”

Declares ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

“For your day ^H3117 has come ^H935,

The time ^H6256 [fn]when I will punish ^H6485 you.

Flee ^H5127 from the midst ^H8432 of Babylon ^H894,

And each ^H376 of you save ^H4422 his life ^H5315!

Do not perish ^H1826 in her [fn]punishment ^H5771,

For this ^H1931 is the LORD’S ^H3068 time ^H6256 of vengeance ^H5360;

He is going to repay ^H7999 to her what ^H1576 she deserves ^H1576.

Sharpen ^H1305 the arrows ^H2671, fill ^H4390 the quivers ^H7982!

The LORD ^H3068 has stirred ^H5782 up ^H5782 the spirit ^H7307 of the kings ^H4428 of the Medes ^H4074,

Because ^H3588 His plan ^H4209 is against ^H5921 Babylon ^H894 to destroy ^H7843 it;

For it is the vengeance ^H5360 of the LORD ^H3068, vengeance ^H5360 for His temple ^H1964.

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Behold ^H2009, I am going to plead ^H7378 your case ^H7379

And take ^H5358 vengeance ^H5360 for you;

And I will dry ^H2717 up ^H2717 her [fn]sea ^H3220

And make ^H3001 her fountain ^H4726 dry ^H3001.

You have seen ^H7200 all ^H3605 their vengeance ^H5360,

All ^H3605 their schemes ^H4284 against me.

Then He cried ^H7121 out ^H7121 in my [fn]presence ^H241 with a loud ^H1419 voice ^H6963, saying ^H559, “Come ^H7126 forward ^H7126, you [fn]executioners ^H6486 of the city ^H5892, each ^H376 with his weapon ^H3627 of destruction ^H4892 in his hand ^H3027.”

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068 says ^H559: “How ^H637 much ^H637 more ^H637 H3588 when ^H3588 I send ^H7971 My four ^H702 [fn]severe ^H7451 judgments ^H8201 against ^H413 Jerusalem ^H3389: sword ^H2719, famine ^H7458, vicious ^H7451 animals ^H2416, and plague ^H1698 to eliminate ^H3772 human ^H120 and animal ^H929 life from it!

“So that it may cause wrath ^H2534 to come ^H5927 up ^H5927 to take ^H5358 vengeance ^H5359,

I have put ^H5414 her blood ^H1818 on the bare ^H6706 rock ^H5553,

So that it will not be covered ^H3680.”

“I will make ^H8074 Pathros ^H6624 desolate ^H8074,

Set ^H5414 a fire ^H784 in Zoan ^H6814

And execute ^H6213 judgments ^H8201 on [fn]Thebes ^H4996.

The days ^H3117 of punishment ^H6486 have come ^H935,

The days ^H3117 of retribution ^H7966 have come ^H935;

[fn]Let Israel ^H3478 know ^H3045 this!

The prophet ^H5030 is a fool ^H191,

The [fn]inspired ^H7307 person ^H376 is insane ^H7696,

Because ^H5921 of the grossness ^H7230 of your wrongdoing ^H5771,

And because your [fn]hostility ^H4895 is so great ^H7227.

“And I will execute ^H6213 vengeance ^H5359 in anger ^H639 and wrath ^H2534

On the nations ^H1471 which ^H834 have not obeyed ^H8085.”

The best ^H2896 of them is like a thorn ^H2312 bush ^H2312,

The most upright ^H3477 like a thorn ^H4534 hedge ^H4534.

The day ^H3117 [fn]when you post your watchmen ^H6822,

Your punishment ^H6486 is coming ^H935.

Then ^H6258 their confusion ^H3998 will occur ^H1961.
