36 (A) When only a few
    of the Lord's people remain,
when their strength is gone,
    and some of them are slaves,

    and give them justice.

    and your best sacrifices.

    or give you protection?

36 The Lord will vindicate his people(A)
    and relent(B) concerning his servants(C)
when he sees their strength is gone
    and no one is left, slave(D) or free.[a]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
    the rock they took refuge in,(E)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
    and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(F)
Let them rise up to help you!
    Let them give you shelter!
