4. You have defended my just cause:You sat down on your throne as a fair judge.
5. You condemned nations.You destroyed wicked people.You wiped out their names forever and ever.
6. The enemy is finished—in ruins forever.You have uprooted their cities.Even the memory of them has faded.
7. Yet, the Lord is enthroned forever.He has set up his throne for judgment.
8. He alone judges the world with righteousness.He judges ⌊its⌋ people fairly.
9. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.
