“We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty,
    who are and who were.
For you have assumed your great power
    and have established your reign.

“Now have salvation and power come,
    and the kingdom of our God
    and the authority of his Anointed.

    and you who dwell in them.
But woe to you, earth and sea,
    for the Devil has come down to you in great fury,
    for he knows he has but a short time.”
