7The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
8but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
9And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
10The Lord also is become a refuge for the poor, a seasonable help, in affliction.
11And let them that know thy name hope in thee: for thou, O Lord, hast not failed them that diligently seek thee.
12Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Sion: declare his dealings among the nations.
13For he remembered them, in making inquisition for blood: he has not forgotten the supplication of the poor.
