9:3 When my enemies turn back,
they trip and are defeated
9:4 For you defended my just cause;
from your throne you pronounced a just decision.
9:5 You terrified the nations with your battle cry;
you destroyed the wicked;
you permanently wiped out all memory of them.
9:6 The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins;
you destroyed their cities;
all memory of the enemies has perished.
9:7 But the Lord
he reigns in a just manner.
9:8 He judges the world fairly;
he makes just legal decisions for the nations.
