Psalm 9:6–10

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.

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you,

for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:

And thou hast destroyed cities;

Their memorial is perished with them.

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever:

He hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness,

He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

6 The enemy is finished, in endless ruins;

the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

7 But the Lord reigns forever,

executing judgment from his throne.

8 He will judge the world with justice

and rule the nations with fairness.

9 The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name trust in you,

for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!

And you have destroyed cities;

Even their memory has perished.

7 But the Lord shall endure forever;

He has prepared His throne for judgment.

8 He shall judge the world in righteousness,

And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

6 The enemy is gone forever.

You destroyed their cities;

no one even remembers them.

7 But the Lord rules forever.

He sits on his throne to judge,

8 and he will judge the world in fairness;

he will decide what is fair for the nations.

9 The Lord defends those who suffer;

he defends them in times of trouble.

10 Those who know the Lord trust him,

because he will not leave those who come to him.

6 The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever;

And the cities which thou hast overthrown,

The very remembrance of them is perished.

7 But Jehovah sitteth as king for ever:

He hath prepared his throne for judgment;

8 And he will judge the world in righteousness,

He will minister judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9 Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed,

A high tower in times of trouble;

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee;

For thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

6 O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. —Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished. 7 But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment. 8 And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. 9 And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress. 10 And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

6 The enemy is finished—in ruins forever. 

You have uprooted their cities. 

Even the memory of them has faded. 

7 Yet, the Lord is enthroned forever. 

He has set up his throne for judgment. 

8 He alone judges the world with righteousness. 

He judges ⸤its⸥ people fairly. 

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, 

a stronghold in times of trouble. 

10 Those who know your name trust you, O Lord, 

because you have never deserted those who seek your help. 

6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin;

You have uprooted the cities,

and the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

He has established His throne for judgment.

8 He judges the world with righteousness;

He executes judgment on the nations with fairness.

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know Your name trust in You

because You have not abandoned

those who seek You, Yahweh.

6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins;

their cities you have rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for judgment.

8 He judges the world with righteousness;

he judges the peoples with equity.

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,

for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

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.

6 The enemy has been destroyed forever.

You have leveled their cities to the ground.

Even the memory of them is gone.

7 The Lord rules forever.

He has set up his throne so that he can judge people.

8 He will judge the world in keeping with what is right.

He will rule over all of its people fairly.

9 The Lord is a place of safety for those who have been beaten down.

He keeps them safe in times of trouble.

10 Lord, those who know you will trust in you.

You have never deserted those who look to you.

6 The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,

And You have uprooted the cities;

The very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord abides forever;

He has established His throne for judgment,

8 And He will judge the world in righteousness;

He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.

9 The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of trouble;

10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
