4 For you have upheld my right and my cause,sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,you have uprooted their cities;even the memory of them has perished.
7 The Lord reigns for ever;he has established his throne for judgment.
8 He rules the world in righteousnessand 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.
