6Lovsang for Gud er i deres munn og et tveegget sverd i deres hånd,
6May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7for å fullbyrde hevn over hedningene, straff over folkene,
7To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
8for å binde deres konger med lenker og deres fornemme menn med jernbånd,
8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9for å fullbyrde foreskreven straffedom over dem. Dette er en ære for alle hans fromme. Halleluja!
9to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
