| 5The Lord is at your right hand; he will utterly destroy kings in the time of his wrath. | 5The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. |
| 6He will execute judgment against the nations, filling graves with corpses. He will utterly destroy leaders far and wide. | 6He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. |
| 7He will drink from a stream on the way, then hold his head high. | 7He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. |
