43  “Rejoice with him, O heavens;¹

bow down to him, all gods,²

for he avenges the blood of his children³

and takes vengeance on his adversaries.

He repays those who hate him⁴

and cleanses⁵ his people’s land.”⁶

10  Why should the nations say,

^r“Where is their God?”

Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants

be known among the nations before our eyes!

2  for his judgments are ^xtrue and just;

for he has judged the ^ygreat prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her immorality,

and has ^zavenged on her the blood of his servants.”
