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 forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
8. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.
