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 justiceand 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.
11 Sing praises to the lord who reigns in Jerusalem.Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds.
12 For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless.He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.
