1 | 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. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. |
