You have rebuked the nations(A) and destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name(B) for ever and ever.
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
    you have uprooted their cities;(C)
    even the memory of them(D) has perished.

The Lord reigns forever;(E)
    he has established his throne(F) for judgment.
He rules the world in righteousness(G)
    and judges the peoples with equity.(H)
The Lord is a refuge(I) for the oppressed,(J)
    a stronghold in times of trouble.(K)
10 Those who know your name(L) trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken(M) those who seek you.(N)

11 Sing the praises(O) of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;(P)
    proclaim among the nations(Q) what he has done.(R)
12 For he who avenges blood(S) remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.(T)

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
