Let (C)the high praises of God be in their throats

to execute vengeance on the nations
    and punishments on the peoples,
to bind their kings with (E)chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
to execute on them the judgment (F)written!
    (G)This is honor for all his godly ones.
(H)Praise the Lord!
