3When my enemies turned back,

they stumbled and perished before you.*

4For you have maintained my just cause;

you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.*

5You have rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked;

you have blotted out their name forever and ever.*

6The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins;

their cities you have rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.*

Thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

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

And thou hast destroyed cities;

Their memorial is perished with them.
