3. When my enemies turn and retreat,they fall down and die right in front of you
4. because you have established justicefor me and my claim,because you rule from the throne,establishing justice rightly.
5. You’ve denounced the nations,destroyed the wicked.You’ve erased their names for all time.
6. Every enemy is wiped out,like something ruined forever.You’ve torn down their cities—even the memory of them is dead.
7. But the Lord rules forever!He assumes his thronefor the sake of justice.
8. He will establish justice in the world rightly;he will judge all people fairly.
