4 For you have upheld my just cause;m

you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.n

5 You have rebuked the nations:o

You have destroyed the wicked;p

you have erased their name forever and ever.q

6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin;

you have uprooted the cities,

and the very memory of them has perished.r

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;s

he has established his throne for judgment.t

8 And he judges the world with righteousness;

he executes judgment on the nations with fairness.u
