用铁链捆绑他们的君王，用铁铐锁住他们的首领，

用锁链捆住他们的君王，用铁镣锁住他们的权贵，

为要用锁链捆住他们的君王，用铁镣捆住他们的权贵；

要用鍊子捆他們的君王，用鐵鐐鎖他們的大臣；

要用鏈子捆他們的君王，用鐵鐐鎖他們的貴族，

要用鏈子捆他們的君王，用鐵鐐鎖他們的貴族，

用鐵鏈捆綁他們的君王，用鐵銬鎖住他們的首領，

用鎖鍊捆住他們的君王，用鐵鐐鎖住他們的權貴，

好用鎖鍊捆他們的君王，用鐵鐐鎖他們的貴臣，

為要用鎖鏈捆住他們的君王，用鐵鐐捆住他們的權貴；

縛其王以鏈、繫顯者以鐵索兮、

列國之王、繫以鐵索、貴顯之臣、囚以桎梏兮、

以縲絏拘其君王、以鐵索繫其貴臣、

世王被鏈索。冢臣加桎梏。
