1. |
A song. A Psalm by Asaph.
|
|
2. |
God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.
|
|
3. |
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
|
|
4. |
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
|
|
5. |
"Come," they say, "and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
|
|
6. |
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
|
|
7. |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
|
|
8. |
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
|
|
9. |
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
|
|
10. |
Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
|
|
11. |
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.
|
|
12. |
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
|
|
13. |
Who said, "Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands."
|
|
14. |
My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.
|
|
15. |
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
|
|
16. |
So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm.
|
|
17. |
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh.
|
|
18. |
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
|
|
19. |
That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth.
