Context of Psalms 9:6

4For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously. 5You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever. The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished. 7But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment. 8He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
