⁷ We have happy memories of the godly,
    but the name of a wicked person rots away.

⁶ Such people will not be overcome by evil.
    Those who are righteous will be long remembered.

⁴⁸ For he took notice of his lowly servant girl,
    and from now on all generations will call me blessed.

¹³ May all his offspring die.
    May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.

¹⁵ May the Lord always remember these sins,
    and may his name disappear from human memory.

⁵ You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
    you have erased their names forever.
⁶ The enemy is finished, in endless ruins;
    the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.

¹⁷ All memory of their existence will fade from the earth;
    no one will remember their names.

³⁴ For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David,
    I will defend this city and protect it.”
