4. For you have upheld my right and my cause,sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6. Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,you have uprooted their cities;even the memory of them has perished.
7. The Lord reigns for ever;he has established his throne for judgment.
8. He rules the world in righteousnessand judges the peoples with equity.
9. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.
