| O God, do not be silent; *
do not keep still nor hold your peace, O God;
|
| 2
| For your enemies are in tumult, *
and those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
|
| 3
| They take secret counsel against your people
*
and plot against those whom you protect.
|
| 4
| They have said, "Come, let us wipe them
out from among the nations; *
let the name of Israel be remembered no more."
|
| 5
| They have conspired together; *
they have made an alliance against you:
|
| 6
| The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; *
the Moabites and the Hagarenes;
|
| 7
| Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; *
the Philistines and those who dwell in Tyre.
|
| 8
| The Assyrians also have joined them, *
and have come to help the people of Lot.
|
| 9
| Do to them as you did to Midian, *
to Sisera, and to Jabin at the river of Kishon:
|
| 10
| They were destroyed at Endor; *
they became like dung upon the ground.
|
| 11
| Make their leaders like Oreb and Zee%b, *
and all their commanders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
| 12
| Who said, "Let us take for ourselves
*
the fields of God as our possession."
|
| 13
| O my God, make them like whirling dust *
and like chaff before the wind;
|
| 14
| Like fire that burns down a forest, *
like the flame that sets mountains ablaze.
|
| 15
| Drive them with your tempest *
and terrify them with your storm;
|
| 16
| Cover their faces with shame, O LORD, *
that they may seek your Name.
|
| 17
| Let them be disgraced and terrified for ever;
*
let them be put to confusion and perish.
|
| 18
| Let them know that you, whose Name is YAHWEH,
*
you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
