17 saying,

We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty,
who is and who was,[a](A)
because you have taken your great power
and have begun to reign.(B)
18 The nations were angry,(C)
but your wrath has come.
The time has come
for the dead to be judged
and to give the reward
to your servants the prophets,(D)
to the saints, and to those who fear your name,
both small and great,(E)
and the time has come to destroy
those who destroy the earth.

19 Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant[b] appeared in his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder,(F) an earthquake,[c] and severe hail.
