4. For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;he adorns the humble with salvation.
5. Let the godly exult in glory;let them sing for joy on their beds.
6. Let the high praises of God be in their throatsand two-edged swords in their hands,
7. to execute vengeance on the nationsand punishments on the peoples,
8. to bind their kings with chainsand their nobles with fetters of iron,
9. to execute on them the judgment written! This is honor for all his godly ones. Praise the Lord!
