3. When my enemies turn back,they stumble and perish before your presence.
4. For you have maintained my just cause;you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
5. You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6. The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;their cities you rooted out;the very memory of them has perished.
7. But the Lord sits enthroned forever;he has established his throne for justice,
8. and he judges the world with righteousness;he judges the peoples with uprightness.
9. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.
10. And those who know your name put their trust in you,for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11. Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!Tell among the peoples his deeds!
12. For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13. Be gracious to me, O Lord!See my affliction from those who hate me,O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
14. that I may recount all your praises,that in the gates of the daughter of ZionI may rejoice in your salvation.
15. The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
