¹ And in those days will have ascended the prayer of the righteous, And the blood of the righteous from the earth before the Lord of Spirits.

² In those days the holy ones who dwell above in the heavens Will unite with one voice And plead and pray [and praise, And give thanks and bless the name of the Lord of Spirits] On behalf of the blood of the righteous which has been shed, And that the prayer of the righteous may not be in vain before the Lord of Spirits, That judgment may be done to them, And that they may not have to suffer forever.

³ In those days I saw the Head of Days when He seated himself upon the throne of His glory, And the books of the living were opened before Him: And all His host which is in heaven above and His counsellors stood before Him,

⁴ And the hearts of the holy were filled with joy; Because the number of the righteous had been offered, And the prayer of the righteous had been heard, And the blood of the righteous been required before the Lord of Spirits.
