For å gi nasjonene belønningen for deres synder, og folkene deres straff;

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

For å legge deres konger i lenker, og deres herskere i jernbånd;

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

For å gi dem den straff som står skrevet i de hellige skrifter: denne æren er gitt til alle hans hellige. Lovpris Herren.
