Let the (A)high praises of God be in their [a]mouth,
And a (B)two-edged (C)sword in their hand,
To (D)execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
To bind their kings (E)with chains
And their (F)nobles with fetters of iron,
To (G)execute on them the judgment written;
This is an (H)honor for all His godly ones.
[b]Praise [c]the Lord!
