| [1]A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. |
[1]O GOD, who is like unto thee? Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God; |
| [2]O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
[2]For, lo, thine enemies are raging and they that hate thee have lifted up the head against thy people. |
| [3]For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head. |
[3]They have taken crafty counsel, and consulted against thy chosen ones. |
| [4]They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones. |
[4]They have said, Come, let us destroy them from among the nations, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
| [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 agreed with one heart; they have made alliance against thee: |
| [6]For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make covenant; |
[6]The tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites; of Moab and the Gadarenes; |
| [7]The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; |
[7]The people of the region of Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
| [8]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
[8]The Assyrians have also joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. |
| [9]Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah |
[9]Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the valley of Kishon; |
| [10]Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon; |
[10]Which perished at Endor; they became as manure for the earth. |
| [11]Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth. |
[11]Destroy their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb; yea, all their princes as Zebah and as Zalmunna; |
| [12]Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes; |
[12]For they said, Let us inherit for ourselves the city of God. |
| [13]Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.' |
[13]O God, make them like a turning wheel; and like stubble before the wind. |
| [14]O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind. |
[14]As the fire burns a forest and as the flame sets the mountains on fire; |
| [15]As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze; |
[15]So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
| [16]So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm. |
[16]Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
| [17]Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
[17]Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish, |
| [18]Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish; |
[18]That men may know that thou, whose name alone is the LORD, art the 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. |
