5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
5
Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

14 that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
14
So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

15
Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.
19 Arise, LORD, do not let mortals triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.

Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.
20 Strike them with terror, LORD; let the nations know they are only mortal.
20
Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they [are] men! Selah.
