5 Let the godly celebrate in triumphal glory;
let them shout for joy on their beds.(A)
6
Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths(a)
and a double-edged sword in their hands,(B)
7
inflicting vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,(C)
8
binding their kings with chains
and their dignitaries with iron shackles,(D)
9
carrying out the judgment decreed against them.
This honor is for all His godly people.(E)
Hallelujah!
