(A)You shall multiply the nation,
You (B)shall [a]make great [b]their gladness;
They will be glad in Your presence
As with the gladness [c]of harvest,
As [d](C)men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For (D)You shall shatter the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their (E)taskmaster, as [e]at the battle of (F)Midian.
For every boot of the booted warrior in the rumbling of battle,
And cloak rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
