³ When my enemies turned back,
    they stumbled and perished before you.^(A)
4 For you have maintained my just cause;
    you have sat on the throne giving righteous judgment.^(B)

⁵ You have rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked;
    you have blotted out their name forever and ever.^(C)
6 The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins;
    their cities you have rooted out;
    the very memory of them has perished.^(D)

¹⁸ The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
    and their heritage will abide forever;^(A)
