Let them (A)sing aloud on their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And (B)a two-edged sword in their hand,
To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
(C)To execute on them the written judgment—
(D)This honor have all His saints.

[a]Praise the Lord!
