    while my sword devours flesh,
    the blood of the dead and captured,
        flowing from the heads of enemy generals.”[a]
43 Heavens:[b] Rejoice with God![c]
    All you gods: bow down to the Lord![d]
    Because he will avenge his children’s[e] blood;
        he will pay back his enemies;
        he will punish in kind those who hate him;[f]
        he will cleanse his people’s land.[g]
