| [1]A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. |
[1]O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God. |
| [2]O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
[2]For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
| [3]For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head. |
[3]Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints. |
| [4]They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones. |
[4]They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all. |
| [5]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 taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee; |
| [6]For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make covenant; |
[6]even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; |
| [7]The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; |
[7]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. |
| [8]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
[8]Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause. |
| [9]Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah |
[9]Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. |
| [10]Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon; |
[10]They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth. |
| [11]Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth. |
[11]Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; even all their princes: |
| [12]Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes; |
[12]who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance. |
| [13]Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.' |
[13]O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind. |
| [14]O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind. |
[14]As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains; |
| [15]As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze; |
[15]so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger. |
| [16]So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm. |
[16]Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord. |
| [17]Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[17]Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed. |
| [18]Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish; |
[18]And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth. |
| [19]That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the Most High over all the earth. |
