Deut 32:43 in the LXX: eight lines for the Hebrew's four

Says Swete prints eight lines (vol. 1, p. 414): (1) εὐφράνθητε, οὐρανοί, ἅμα αὐτῷ, (2) καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ θεοῦ· (3) εὐφράνθητε, ἔθνη, μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, (4) καὶ ἐνισχυσάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ· (5) ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκδικᾶται, (6) καὶ ἐκδικήσει, καὶ ἀνταποδώσει δίκην τοῖς ἐχθροῖς· (7) καὶ τοῖς μισοῦσιν ἀνταποδώσει, (8) καὶ ἐκκαθαριεῖ Κύριος τὴν γῆν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Says The Hebrew has four lines, beginning הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ (harninu goyim 'ammo). Lines 3, 5, 6, and 8 correspond to them; lines 1, 2, 4, and 7 have no Hebrew counterpart. Line 3 has μετά, "with his people," where the Hebrew has no preposition: עַמּוֹ follows the verb directly. Line 5 has "his sons" for עֲבָדָיו ('avadav, "his servants"), and line 8 "the land of his people" for אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּוֹ (admato 'ammo).

Says The logged apparatus includes: A adds πάντες after the first αὐτῷ; F has πάντες ἄγγελοι for υἱοί; A and F add αὐτοῦ after ἐχθροῖς; F omits Κύριος.

The BSB's longer text follows the Greek in lines 1, 3, 5 ("His children"), 6, and 7, and in line 2 has "angels" (as F and Odes 2:43) for "sons"; it has nothing for line 4, and its last line, "His land and His people," follows the Hebrew.

The textual choices are var.Deut.32.43.heavens-nations, var.Deut.32.43.worship-him, and var.Deut.32.43.land-people, with note.textual.Deut.32.43.minor-variants; Odes 2:43 is compared in note.cross-reference.Deut.32.43.odes-2-43-form.
