ESVEnglish Standard Version

When my enemies turn back,

they stumble and perish before your presence.

For you have maintained my just cause;

you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;

you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;

their cities you rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.

But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for justice,

and he judges the world with righteousness;

he judges the peoples with uprightness.

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

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

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

NIVNew International Version (2011)

My enemies turn back;

they stumble and perish before you.

For you have upheld my right and my cause,

sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.

You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;

you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.

Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,

you have uprooted their cities;

even the memory of them has perished.

The Lord reigns forever;

he has established his throne for judgment.

He rules the world in righteousness

and judges the peoples with equity.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

Those who know your name trust in you,

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

CSBChristian Standard Bible

When my enemies retreat,

they stumble and perish before you.

For you have upheld my just cause;

you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.

You have rebuked the nations:

You have destroyed the wicked;

you have erased their name forever and ever.

The enemy has come to eternal ruin;

you have uprooted the cities,

and the very memory of them has perished.

But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for judgment.

And he judges the world with righteousness;

he executes judgment on the nations with fairness.

The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted,

a refuge in times of trouble.

Those who know your name trust in you

because you have not abandoned

those who seek you, Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

My enemies retreated;

they staggered and died when you appeared.

For you have judged in my favor;

from your throne you have judged with fairness.

You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;

you have erased their names forever.

The enemy is finished, in endless ruins;

the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

But the Lord reigns forever,

executing judgment from his throne.

He will judge the world with justice

and rule the nations with fairness.

The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

Those who know your name trust in you,

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

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

When my enemies turn back,

they will stumble and perish because of your presence.

For you have maintained my just cause;

you have sat on the throne judging correctly.

You have rebuked the nations;

you have destroyed the wicked.

Their name you have blotted out

forever and ever.

The enemies are destroyed in ruins forever,

and you have uprooted their cities;

their very memory has perished.

But Yahweh sits enthroned forever.

He has established his throne for judgment.

And he will judge the world with righteousness.

He will judge the peoples with equity.

And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of distress.

And those who know your name will trust in you,

for you do not forsake those who seek you, O Yahweh.
