3 When my enemies turn and retreat,they fall down and die right in front of you
4 because you have established justicefor me and my claim,because you rule from the throne,establishing justice rightly.
5 You’ve denounced the nations,destroyed the wicked.You’ve erased their names for all time.
6 Every enemy is wiped out,like something ruined forever.You’ve torn down their cities—even the memory of them is dead.
7 But the Lord rules forever!He assumes his thronefor the sake of justice.
8 He will establish justice in the world rightly;he will judge all people fairly.
9 The Lord is a safe place for the oppressed—a safe place in difficult times.
