Psalms 9:7

"The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished."

Key Reflection

These verses suggest that the destructive power and influence of evil are ultimately futile and will be completely erased. Even the memory of the cities destroyed by the enemy will fade, highlighting the transient nature of sin's dominion and the permanence of God’s justice.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But the Lord shall endure for ever -Yahweh is eternal - always the same. Though these cities have become desolate, and the enemy has been permitted to triumph, and nations and people have passed away, yet God is ever the same, unaffected by these changes and desolations, and in due time he will always interfere and vindicate his own character, and defend the oppressed and the wronged. He hath prepared his throne for judgment -SeePsalms 9:4. He sits as a just judge among the nations, and he will see that right is done.
