1 | A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. |
2 | O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God. |
3 | For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head. |
4 | They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones. |
5 | They have said, "Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer." |
6 | For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant: |
7 | the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites, |
8 | and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre. |
9 | For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot. |
10 | Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon. |
11 | They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth. |
12 | Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders |
13 | who said, "Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance." |
14 | My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind. |
15 | Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains. |
16 | So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath. |
17 | Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord. |
18 | Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish. |
19 | And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth. |
