Der HERR hat die Rute der Gottlosen zerbrochen, die Rute der Herrscher,
Quebrantó Jehová el bastón de los impíos, el cetro de los señores;
Jehová ha quebrado el bastón de los malvados, el cetro de los gobernantes,
L'Eternel a brisé le bâton des méchants, La verge des dominateurs.

Já quebrantou o SENHOR o bastão dos ímpios e o cetro dos dominadores.
耶和華折斷惡人的杖, 打斷統治者的權杖;
