5. You terrified the nations with your battle cry;you destroyed the wicked;you permanently wiped out all memory of them.
6. The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins;you destroyed their cities;all memory of the enemies has perished.
7. But the Lord rules forever;he reigns in a just manner.
8. He judges the world fairly;he makes just legal decisions for the nations.
9. Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;he provides safety in times of trouble.
10. Your loyal followers trust in you,for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek your help.
