Psalms 9:6-9
Psalms 9:6-9 King James Version (KJV)
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: And thou hast destroyed cities; Their memorial is perished with them. But the LORD shall endure for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
Psalms 9:5-10 The Message (MSG)
You blow the whistle on godless nations; you throw dirty players out of the game, wipe their names right off the roster. Enemies disappear from the sidelines, their reputation trashed, their names erased from the halls of fame. GOD holds the high center, he sees and sets the world’s mess right. He decides what is right for us earthlings, gives people their just deserts. GOD’s a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you’re never sorry you knocked.
Psalms 9:6-9 King James Version (KJV)
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: And thou hast destroyed cities; Their memorial is perished with them. But the LORD shall endure for ever: He hath prepared his throne for judgment. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
Psalms 9:6-9 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And You have uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment, And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity. The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble

The enemy is gone forever. You destroyed their cities; no one even remembers them. But the LORD rules forever. He sits on his throne to judge, and he will judge the world in fairness; he will decide what is fair for the nations. The LORD defends those who suffer; he defends them in times of trouble.
Psalms 9:6-9 American Standard Version (ASV)
The enemy are come to an end, they are desolate for ever; And the cities which thou hast overthrown, The very remembrance of them is perished.

Jehovah also will be a high tower for the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble
