| 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! |
