How the oppressor^(C) has come to an end!
    How his fury^[a] has ended!
⁵ The Lord has broken the rod^(D) of the wicked,^(E)
    the scepter^(F) of the rulers,
⁶ which in anger struck down peoples^(G)
    with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued^(H) nations
    with relentless aggression.^(I)

¹² How you have fallen^(A) from heaven,
    morning star,^(B) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
    you who once laid low the nations!^(C)
13 You said in your heart,
    “I will ascend^(D) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne^(E)
    above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,^(F)
    on the utmost heights^(G) of Mount Zaphon.^[a]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;^(H)
    I will make myself like the Most High.”^(I)
15 But you are brought down^(J) to the realm of the dead,^(K)
    to the depths^(L) of the pit.^(M)
