When my enemies turn back,
    they stumble and perish before[a] your presence.
For you have (A)maintained my just cause;
    you have (B)sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

You have (C)rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
    you have (D)blotted out their name forever and ever.
The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.
