NLT The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.
KJV O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

What does Psalm 9:6 mean?

The armies that attacked David and Israel gained nothing but lost everything. In His righteous judgment the Lord Most High brought them "to an end in everlasting ruins." The Lord also uprooted the enemies' cities and blotted out the memory of them forever (Psalm 9:3–5).

Although David is celebrating judgments in his past, these words preview a future judgment as well. Just as God overthrew the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, leaving them in ashes and smoke (Genesis 19:23–28), even so He will overthrow the cities of the nations that oppose Him and His people at the end of tribulation period. This is part of the end times. Revelation 16:19 reports: "The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath." Someday, cities that reveled in sin and opposed God will fade from memory.
