The LORD has broken the club of the wicked, the scepter of rulers.
It furiously struck down nations with unceasing blows. It angrily ruled over nations, oppressing them without restraint.
The whole earth rests and is quiet; they break into song.
The evergreens also rejoice over your demise, as do the cedars of Lebanon, singing,‘Since you fell asleep, no woodsman comes up to chop us down!’
Sheol below is stirred up about you, ready to meet you when you arrive. It rouses the spirits of the dead for you, all the former leaders of the earth; it makes all the former kings of the nations rise from their thrones.
All of them respond to you, saying:‘You too have become weak like us! You have become just like us!
Your splendor has been brought down to Sheol, as well as the sound of your stringed instruments. You lie on a bed of maggots, with a blanket of worms over you.
