26 Delay not, O God, to recompense them on their heads, To turn the pride of the dragon into dishonour. (PSS) 27 And I had not long to wait before God showed me the insolent one Slain on the mountains of Egypt, Esteemed of less account than the least, on land and sea; (PSS) 28 His body, too, borne hither and thither on the billows with much insolence, With none to bury him, because He had rejected him with dishonour. (PSS) 29 He reflected not that he was man, And reflected not on the latter end; (PSS) 30 He said: I will be lord of land and sea; And he recognized not that it is God who is great, Mighty in His great strength. (PSS) 31 He is king over the heavens, And judgeth kings and kingdoms. (PSS) 32 It is He who setteth me up in glory, And bringeth down the proud to eternal destruction in dishonour, Because they knew Him not. (PSS) 33 And now behold, ye princes of the earth, the judgement of the Lord, For a great king and righteous is He, judging all that is under heaven. (PSS)
