1 A Song; a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O *God: |
|
2 For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head. |
|
3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones: |
|
4 They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more. |
|
5 For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee. |
|
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites; |
|
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
|
8 Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah. |
|
9 Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: |
|
10 Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. |
|
11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna. |
|
12 For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession. |
|
13 O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind. |
|
14 As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, |
|
15 So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind. |
|
16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. |
|
17 Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and 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. |
