“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.”
The nations raged, but your wrath has come, and the time for judging the dead, for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints and all who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying those who destroy the earth — the nations' rage (orgē, anger/passion) yields to God's wrath (orgē tou theou); the judgment includes both reward (wages/compensation) for the faithful (servants, prophets, saints, all fearing God's name, from least to greatest) and destruction (diaphtheiro, ruin) for those who destroy the earth (corrupt, desecrate).
