Revelation 18

1 And
ℵA omit
 after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong
ℵA ⟨with a mighty⟩
 voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen
ℵ ⟨Fallen is Babylon the great⟩
, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
A ⟨unclean and hateful⟩
 spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird
A ⟨beast⟩
.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the
A omit
 wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached
ℵA ⟨cleaved together⟩
 unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her
ℵ ⟨rewarded, double unto her⟩; A ⟨rewarded, and double unto her⟩
 double according to her works: in the
ℵ ⟨her⟩
 cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God
ℵ ⟨God the Lord⟩; A ⟨God⟩
 who judgeth
ℵA ⟨judged⟩
 her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously
ℵ omit
 with her, shall bewail her,
ℵA ⟨wail⟩
 and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is
A ⟨is⟩
 thy judgment come
A ⟨come⟩
.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple,
A omit
 and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood
A ⟨every thyine vessel⟩
, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood
A ⟨stone⟩
, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
ℵ omit
13 And cinnamon
ℵA ⟨cinnamon and spice⟩
, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed
ℵA ⟨perished⟩
 from thee, and thou shalt
ℵA ⟨they shall⟩
 find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And
ℵA omit
 saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet
A ⟨scarlet, and purple, and fine linen⟩
, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships
ℵA ⟨every one who saileth by the place⟩
, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke
A ⟨place⟩
 of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads
ℵ ⟨head⟩
, and cried, weeping and wailing,
A omit
 saying, Alas, alas
ℵ omit
 that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy
ℵA ⟨saints and⟩
 apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21 And a mighty
ℵA ⟨an⟩
 angel took up a stone
ℵ ⟨mighty stone⟩
 like a great millstone
ℵ ⟨stone⟩
, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
ℵ ⟨there shall be no more found in her⟩
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee
ℵ ⟨The voice of harpers and musicians, and of pipers and trumpets; it shall be heard no more at all in thee⟩
; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be,
ℵA omit
 shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
ℵ omit
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;
A omit
 and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

About the Pointing

The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
