“Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was!
We thank you that you have taken your great power
    and have begun to rule!
^18 (A)The heathen were filled with rage,
    because the time for your anger has come,
    the time for the dead to be judged.
The time has come to reward your servants, the prophets,
    and all your people, all who have reverence for you,
    great and small alike.
The time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth!”
