³ I have commanded my consecrated ones;
yes, I have called my warriors,
who celebrate my triumph,
to execute my wrath.^(A)

² The noisy city, the jubilant town,^(A)
is filled with celebration.
Your dead did not die by the sword;
they were not killed in battle.

⁷ Is this your jubilant city,
whose origin was in ancient times,
whose feet have taken her
to reside far away?

⁸ The joyful tambourines^(A) have ceased.
The noise of the jubilant has stopped.
The joyful lyre has ceased.
