3When my enemies retreat,
they stumble and perish before you.#Lv 26:37; Ps 27:2; 92:9

you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.#Ps 7:11
5You have rebuked the nations:#Is 17:3

he has executed justice,#Is 56:1
snaring the wicked
by the work of their hands.#Ps 3:7; Is 11:4Higgaion. Selah

all the nations that forget God.#Jb 8:13; Ps 50:22

let the nations be judged in your presence.#Ps 82:8; 110:6

let the nations know they are only humans.#Ps 62:9Selah
