7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;
7
to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

to bind their kings with shackles and their leaders with iron chains,
9 To execute on them the written judgment-- This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!
