God implored to confound his Enemies.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. |
|
| |
|
1 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 They 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 En-dor,
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 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;
Yes, 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. |
