Hallelujah!
Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God,
2 because His judgments are true and righteous,
because He has judged the notorious prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;
and He has avenged the blood of His slaves
that was on her hands.
3 A second time they said:

Hallelujah!
Her smoke ascends forever and ever!
