“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    who is and who was,
        because you have taken your great power
            and have begun ruling as king.
18 “The nations were angry, but your anger has come.
    The time has come for the dead to be judged:
    to reward your servants, the prophets,
        your holy people,
            and those who fear your name,
                no matter if they are important or unimportant,
    and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”
