1. In that day the prayer of the holy and the righteous, and the blood
of the righteous, shall ascend from the earth into the presence of the
Lord of spirits.
2. In that day shall the holy ones assemble, who dwell above the
heavens, and with united voice petition, supplicate, praise, laud, and
bless the name of the Lord of spirits, on account of the blood of the
righteous which has been shed; that the prayer of the righteous may not
be intermitted before the Lord of spirits; that for them he would
execute judgment; and that his patience may not endure for ever.
3. At that time I beheld the Ancient of days, while he sat upon the
throne of his glory, _while_ the book of the living was opened in his
presence, and _while_ all the powers which were above the heavens stood
around and before him.
4. Then were the hearts of the saints full of joy, because the
consummation[101] of righteousness was arrived, the supplication of the
saints heard, and the blood of the righteous appreciated by the Lord of
spirits.
