5. Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6. The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; and the cities which thou hast overthrown, their very memorial is perished.
7. But the LORD sitteth as king for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9. The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble;
10. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11. Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12. For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the poor.
13. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;
14. That I may shew forth all thy praise: in the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15. The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16. The LORD hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah
