Psalm 9:6 — you rebuked nations, and the ungodly perished; the name wiped out
“You rebuked nations, and the ungodly perished; you wiped out their name to the age of the age” (Psalm 9:6).
On behalf of tyrannized human nature you laid so bitter a punishment on him. You rebuked the nations, that is, handing over to them the divine teachings through the apostles and the subsequent teachers; when they received them, the ungodly perished, no longer having those who worship according to error.
Thus also Paul and Barnabas rebuked the Lycaonians who were trying to sacrifice, saying: “Men, why do you do these things? We too are men of like passions with you, turning you from these vain things” (Acts 14:15). And Paul rebuked the Galatians: “O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was portrayed as crucified among you?” (Galatians 3:1). Thus to the Corinthians: “It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such as is not even named among the nations” (1 Corinthians 5:1).
His name, then, was wiped out to the age. For every rite of those now men and ignorant of the mysteries of piety has been quenched, so much also as: “The way of the ungodly will perish” (Psalm 1:6).

9.6 ̓Επετίμησας ε θνεσι, καὶ ἀπώλετο ὁ ἀσεβής· τὸ ο νομα αὐτῶν ἐξήλειψας εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. ̔Υπὲρ τῆς ἀνθρωπίνης τυραννουμένης φύ σεως ου τω πικρὰν αὐτῷ τὴν τιμωρίαν ἐπέ θηκας. ̓Επετίμησας τοῖς ε θνεσι, τουτέστι τὰ θεῖα διδάγματα διὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῶν ἑξῆς διδασκάλων αὐτοῖς παραδούς· ω ν δεξαμένων, ἀπώλετο [ὁ ἀσεβὴς], τοὺς κατὰ τὴν πλάνην προσκυνοῦντας οὐκ ε χων. Ου τω καὶ Λυκάοσι θῦσαι πειρωμένοις Παῦλος ἐπε τίμα καὶ Βαρνάβας, εἰπόντες· Τί ποιεῖτε, α νδρες; Καὶ ἡμεῖς ὁμοιοπαθεῖς ἐσμεν ὑμῶν α νθρωποι, ἀπὸ τούτων τῶν ματαίων ὑμᾶς ἐπιστρέφοντες. Καὶ Γαλάταις δὲ Παῦλος ἐπε τίμα· Ω ἀνόητοι Γαλάται, τίς ὑμᾶς ἐβάσ κανεν, ἐν οι ς κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς ̓Ιησοῦς Χρισ τὸς προεγράφη ἐν ὑμῖν ἐσταυρωμένος; Ου τω Κορινθίοις· Ολως ἀκούεται ἐν ὑμῖν πορνεία, καὶ η τις οὐδὲ ἐν τοῖς ε θνεσιν ὀνομάζεται. – ̓Εξηλείφθη τοίνυν αὐτοῦ τὸ ο νομα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Απασα γὰρ ε σβεσται τελετὴ τῶν νῦν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀγνοούντων τὰ τῆς εὐ σεβείας μυστήρια, τοσοῦτον καὶ τό· ̔Οδὸς ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται.
