6
Let the (A)high praises of God be in their (a)mouth,
And a (B)two-edged (C)sword in their hand,
7
To (D)execute vengeance on the nations
And punishment on the peoples,
8
To bind their kings (E)with chains
And their (F)nobles with fetters of iron,
9
To (G)execute on them the judgment written;
This is an (H)honor for all His godly ones.
(b)Praise (c)the Lord!
