6 Listen, an uproar from the city!
    A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
    dealing retribution to his enemies!

    she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
    she delivered a son.

    Shall a nation be delivered in one moment?
Yet as soon as Zion was in labour
    she delivered her children.
