4
How glorious you were, O Elijah, in your wondrous deeds! And who has the right to boast which you have?
5
You who raised a corpse from death and from Hades, by the word of the Most High;
6
who brought kings down to destruction, and famous men from their beds;
7
who heard rebuke at Sinai and judgments of vengeance at Horeb;
8
who anointed kings to inflict retribution, and prophets to succeed you.
