What does Psalms 9:3-6 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Here are the reasons for David"s delight. God had vindicated him by punishing the nations that had opposed him as God"s vice-regent. God had given a thorough victory. The cities of some of his enemies and even their names had perished, suggesting the complete annihilation of these groups, perhaps tribes or smaller nations. Behind his own throne, David saw Yahweh ruling in heaven and granting him the victory.
