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