4 you will take up this taunt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased! How his insolence has ceased! 5 The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of rulers, 6 that struck down the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger with unrelenting persecution. 7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing.
