17 saying,
"We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
ch. 16:5;[ch. 1:4,8;4:8] who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
and ch. 19:6;Ps. 97:1begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
but Ps. 2:5;110:5your wrath came,
and ch. 6:10;20:12;[Dan. 7:10;2 Thess. 1:6,7] the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and ch. 19:5those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and [ch. 13:10]for destroying the destroyers of the earth."
