Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 9 of Psalms. Psalm 9 combines praise for divine interventions with a request that God continue judging the nations and defending the oppressed. The memory of past works sustains present trust: the God who previously judged remains a refuge for those who suffer. The structure contrasts the permanence of the Lord with the apparent prosperity of violent peoples and culminates in a request that the nations recognize their human condition before the true Judge.

Denn du führest mein Recht und meine Sache aus; du sitzest auf dem Stuhl, ein rechter Richter.
Reprendiste gentes, destruiste al malo, Raíste el nombre de ellos para siempre jamás.
Has reprendido a las naciones y destruido al malvado; has borrado su nombre por siempre jamás.
Tu châties les nations, tu détruis le méchant, Tu effaces leur nom pour toujours et à perpétuité.
Tu hai sgridate le nazioni, tu hai distrutto l’empio, Tu hai cancellato il loro nome in sempiterno.
Repreendeste as nações, destruíste os ímpios; apagaste o seu nome para sempre e eternamente.
你曾斥責列國,滅絕惡人; 你曾塗去他們的名,直到永永遠遠。
