1: A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God. 2: For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head, 3: Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones. 4: They have said, 'Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.' 5: For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make, 6: Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes, 7: Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre, 8: Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah. 9: Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon. 10: They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground! 11: Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes, 12: Who have said, 'Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.' 13: O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind. 14: As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire, 15: So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them. 16: Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah. 17: They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost. 18: And they know that Thou -- (Thy name [is] Jehovah -- by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
