The One (C)who is and who was [a]and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power (D)and reigned.
18 The nations were (E)angry, and Your [b]wrath has come,
And the time of the (F)dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
