1.    {A song. A Psalm by Asaph.} God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.     A Song. A Psalm. Of Asaph.     Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
 
2.    For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.     O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.     For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
 
3.    They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.     For see! those who make war on you are out of control; your haters are lifting up their heads.     They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
 
4.    "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."     They have made wise designs against your people, talking together against those whom you keep in a secret place.     They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
 
5.    For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.     They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory.     For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
 
6.    The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;     For they have all come to an agreement; they are all joined together against you:     The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
 
7.    Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;     The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites;     Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
 
8.    Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.     Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines and the people of Tyre;     Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
 
9.    Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;     Assur is joined with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah.)     Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
 
10.    who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.     Do to them what you did to the Midianites; what you did to Sisera and Jabin, at the stream of Kishon:     Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
 
11.    Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;     Who came to destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste.     Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
 
12.    who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."     Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna:     Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
 
13.    My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.     Who have said, Let us take for our heritage the resting-place of God.     O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
 
14.    As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,     O my God, make them like the rolling dust; like dry stems before the wind.     As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
 
15.    so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.     As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,     So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
 
16.    Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.     So go after them with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm.     Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
 
17.    Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;     Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord.     Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
 
18.    that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.     Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction;     That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
