Latin
He shall take his jealousy as complete armour,
And shall make the whole creation his weapons for vengeance on his enemies:
He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate,
And shall take judgement unfeigned as a helmet;
He shall take holiness as an invincible shield,
And shall sharpen stern wrath for a sword:
And the world shall go forth with him to fight against his insensate foes.
