Psalms 9:5

Read in context

Psalms 9:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

4 For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

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.
