1 - A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 - For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 - Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.
4 - 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 consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:
6 - The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 - Gebal, and 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 thou unto them as unto 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; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
12 - Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.
13 - O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
14 - As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
15 - So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.
16 - Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
17 - Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
18 - That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
