6. You rebuked the nations, you destroyed the wicked;their name you blotted out for all time.
7. The enemies have been ruined forever;you destroyed their cities;their memory has perished.
8. The Lord rules forever,has set up his throne for judgment.
9. It is he who judges the world with justice,who judges the peoples with fairness.
10. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.
11. Those who know your name trust in you;you never forsake those who seek you, Lord.
12. Sing hymns to the Lord enthroned on Zion;proclaim his deeds among the nations!
13. For the avenger of bloodshed remembers,does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
14. Be gracious to me, Lord;see how my foes afflict me!You alone can raise me from the gates of death.
15. Then I will declare all your praises,sing joyously of your salvationin the gates of daughter Zion.
16. The nations fall into the pit they dig;in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught.
17. The Lord is revealed in making judgments:by the deeds they do the wicked are trapped.Higgaion. Selah*
