tu entonneras ce chant satirique sur le roi de Babylone: Bien que l'introduction et la conclusion de ce poème (v. 4b-21) appliquent le chant satirique au roi de Babylone, le texte peut évoquer la mort de tout autre tyran, quel qu'il soit. La disparition du dictateur est attribuée au Seigneur, qui a brisé son pouvoir. Le peuple retrouve ainsi la paix et laisse éclater sa joie. Comment est-ce possible? C'est la fin du dictateur, la fin de l'oppression!
