Psalms 9:6

4 For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

5 You 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.

7 But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

8 He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
