The LORD Reigns Forever: Thanksgiving for Righteous Judgment and Refuge for the Oppressed

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

5 You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

7 But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

8 He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
