² His judgments are true and just.
    He has punished the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality.
    He has avenged the murder of his servants.”

⁴³ “Rejoice with him, you heavens,
    and let all of God’s angels worship him.^[a]
Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles,
    and let all the angels be strengthened in him.^[b]
For he will avenge the blood of his children^[c];
    he will take revenge against his enemies.
He will repay those who hate him^[d]
    and cleanse his people’s land.”

²⁰ Rejoice over her fate, O heaven
    and people of God and apostles and prophets!
For at last God has judged her
    for your sakes.

³⁵ I will take revenge; I will pay them back.
    In due time their feet will slip.
Their day of disaster will arrive,
    and their destiny will overtake them.’

³ For all the nations have fallen^[a]
    because of the wine of her passionate immorality.
The kings of the world
    have committed adultery with her.
Because of her desires for extravagant luxury,
    the merchants of the world have grown rich.”

“You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was,
    because you have sent these judgments.
⁶ Since they shed the blood
    of your holy people and your prophets,
you have given them blood to drink.
    It is their just reward.”

“Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,
    your judgments are true and just.”

“Great and marvelous are your works,
    O Lord God, the Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
    O King of the nations.^[a]
