And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

The verse 5 is found in chapter 63 of Isaiah. The figure coming from Edom appears with garments stained with blood and announces the day of vengeance. The language of treading the winepress communicates judgment carried out directly by God when no one else intervenes. The scene recalls that the salvation of God’s people also includes divine confrontation with their oppressors.

Und ich sah mich um, und da war kein Helfer; und ich verwunderte mich, und niemand stand mir bei; sondern mein Arm mußte mir helfen, und mein Zorn stand mir bei.
Y miré y no había quien ayudará, y maravilleme que no hubiera quien sustentase: y salvome mi brazo, y sostúvome mi ira.
Miré, y no había quien ayudara; me asombré de que no hubiera quien sostuviera. Mi propio brazo me trajo salvación y mi furor me sostuvo.
Je regardais, et personne pour m'aider; J'étais étonné, et personne pour me soutenir; Alors mon bras m'a été en aide, Et ma fureur m'a servi d'appui.
Ed io ho riguardato, e non vi è stato alcuno che mi aiutasse; ed ho considerato con maraviglia, e non vi è stato alcuno che mi sostenesse; ma il mio braccio mi ha operata salute, e la mia ira è stata quella che mi ha sostenuto.
E olhei, e não havia quem me ajudasse; e admirei-me de não haver quem me sustivesse, por isso o meu braço me trouxe a salvação, e o meu furor me susteve.
我仰望,見無人幫助; 我詫異,竟無人扶持。 因此,我的膀臂為我施行拯救; 我的烈怒將我扶持。
