4 For the Lord takes delight in his people,honors the poor with victory.
5 Let the faithful rejoice in their glory,cry out for joy on their couches,
6 With the praise of God in their mouths,and a two-edged sword in their hands,
7 To bring retribution on the nations,punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings in shackles,their nobles in chains of iron,
9 To execute the judgments decreed for them—such is the glory of all God’s faithful.Hallelujah!
