5. The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the rod of the rulers,
6. That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner.
7. The whole earth is quiet and still, it is glad and hath rejoiced.
8. The fir trees also have rejoiced over thee, and the cedars of Libanus, saying: Since thou hast slept, there hath none come up to cut us down.
