Tuona il Ciel sul capo all'empio
E già manda a farne scempio
Forte braccio invitto cor.

Già ministra di vendetta
È temprata la saetta
Da giustissimo furor.

United Kingdom

Heaven is thundering over the head of the wicked
And already it sends to his destruction
A strong arm, an undefeated heart.

Already, to execute the vengeance,
The lighting bolt is tempered
With most righteous fury.[3]

Germany

Der Himmel donnert über dem Haupt des Schändlichen
Und schon schickt er um Verwüstung zu bringen
Einen starken Arm und ein unbesiegtes Herz.

Schon ist als Vollstrecker der Rache
Der Blitz geschmiedet,
gehärtet inm gerechtesten Zorn
