Silk Chant

Be still, all ye enemies of Jah

And know that the Lord God Jah the Almighty

Shall wound the head of his enemies

Jah! Rastafari, Haile Selassie the First

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered

Let them also that hate him flee before him

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away

As wax melteth before the fire

So let the wicked perish at the presence of God

O, let the righteous be glad

Let them rejoice before God, yea

Let them exceedingly rejoice
