Righteousness and salvation intervene

16He saw that there was no man, and he was appalled that there was no one to intercede; so his own arm brought him salvation, and his righteousness upheld him.

17He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.

18According to their deeds, so he will repay: wrath to his adversaries, repayment to his enemies; to the coastlands he will repay what is due.

19So they will fear the name of Yahweh from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing river, driven by the breath of Yahweh.
