4you will take up this ataunt against the king of Babylon:

How the oppressor has ceased,
bthe insolent fury

5The Lord has broken the dstaff of the wicked,
the escepter of rulers,
6 fthat struck the peoples in wrath
with unceasing blows,
that ruled the nations in anger
with unrelenting persecution.
