4. For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne judging correctly.
5. You have rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked. Their name you have blotted out forever and ever.
6. The enemies are destroyed in ruins forever, and you have uprooted their cities; their very memory has perished.
7. But Yahweh sits enthroned forever. He has established his throne for judgment.
8. And he will judge the world with righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
9. And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of distress.
10. And those who know your name will trust in you, for you do not forsake those who seek you, O Yahweh.
11. Sing praises to Yahweh who sits enthroned in Zion. Tell his deeds among the peoples,
12. for he who avenges bloodshed remembers them. He does not forget the distressed cry of the afflicted.
