ceased!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.
7The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
gthey break forth into singing.
8 h, iThe cypresses rejoice at you,
jthe cedars of Lebanon, saying,
‘Since you were laid low,
no woodcutter comes up against us.’
