When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and (A)perish before You.
For You have (B)maintained [a]my just cause;
You have sat on the throne [b](C)judging righteously.
You have (D)rebuked the nations, You have eliminated the wicked;
You have (E)wiped out their name forever and ever.
[c]The enemy has come to an end in everlasting ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very (F)memory of them has perished.

But the (G)Lord [d]sits as King forever;
He has established His (H)throne for judgment,
And He will (I)judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples fairly.
