Let the high praises of God be in their throats
    and two-edged swords in their hands,
to wreak vengeance on the nations
    and chastisement on the peoples,
to bind their kings with chains
    and their nobles with fetters of iron,
to execute on them the judgment written!
    This is glory for all his faithful ones.
Praise the Lord!
