If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

Verse 41 is found in chapter 32 of Deuteronomy. The song contrasts Israel’s lack of understanding with the wisdom that should accompany the people’s historical experience. God declares that he will judge and ultimately have compassion on his servants. The conclusion calls the nations to rejoice with his people, expanding the song’s horizon from Israel to God’s relationship with the nations.

Wenn ich den Blitz meines Schwerts wetzen werde und meine Hand zur Strafe greifen wird, so will ich mich wieder rächen an meinen Feinden und denen, die mich hassen, vergelten.
Si afilare mi reluciente espada, Y mi mano arrebatare el juicio, Yo volveré la venganza a mis enemigos, Y daré el pago a los que me aborrecen.
si afilo mi espada reluciente y mi mano empuña el juicio, tomaré venganza de mis adversarios y daré su pago a quienes me aborrecen.
Si j'aiguise l'éclair de mon épée Et si ma main saisit la justice, Je me vengerai de mes adversaires Et je punirai ceux qui me haïssent;
Se io aguzzo la mia folgorante spada, E prendo in mano il giudicio, Io farò la vendetta sopra i miei nemici, E farò la retribuzione a quelli che m’odiano.
Se eu afiar a minha espada reluzente, e se a minha mão travar o juízo, retribuirei a vingança sobre os meus adversários, e recompensarei aos que me odeiam.
我若磨我閃亮的刀, 我的手掌握審判權, 就必報復我的敵人, 報應那些恨我的人。
