Recitativo del Bajo
Humbled with fear and awful reverence,
throw thyself down with trembling innocence,
nor dare to cast thy weak and dazzled eye
on the dread face of that great Deity;
For fear lest, if He chance to look on thee,
Thou turn to naught, and quite confounded be.

ARIA BASSO
His sceptre is the rod of righteousness, with which He bruiseth all His foes to dust. And the great dragon strongly doth repress, under the rigor of His judgement just. His seat is Truth, to which the faithful trust, from whence proceed her beams so pure and bright, that all about Him sheddeth glorious light.	Su cetro es la vara de justicia...

ARIA TENORE
Jehovah! to my words give ear, my meditations weigh! The voice of my complaining hear, to Thee alone, my God and King, I pray.

Belshazzar
