(Deuteronomy 32:36-41)
The Lord will rescue his people when he sees
that their strength is gone.
He will have mercy on those who serve him,
when he sees how helpless they are.
Then the Lord will ask his people,
“Where are those mighty gods you trusted?
You fed them the fat of your sacrifices
and offered them wine to drink.
Let them come and help you now;
let them run to your rescue.
“I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
and no one can oppose what I do.
As surely as I am the living God,
I raise my hand and I vow that I will sharpen
my flashing sword
and see that justice is done.
I will take revenge on my enemies
and punish those who hate me.
