⁴⁰ I lift my hand^(A) to heaven and solemnly swear:
    As surely as I live forever,^(B)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword^(C)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance^(D) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.^(E)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,^(F)
    while my sword devours flesh:^(G)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”
