The Writings of Cornelius Tacitus
Tacitus
[A Song of a Psalm for Asaph.]
[1]O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God. [No book]
[2]For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. [No book]
[3]Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints. [No book]
[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. [No book]
[5]For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee; [No book]
[6]even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; [No book]
[7]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. [No book]
[8]Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause. [No book]
[9]Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. [No book]
[10]They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth. [No book]
[11]Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; even all their princes: [No book]
[12]who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance. [No book]
[13]O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind. [No book]
[14]As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains; [No book]
[15]so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger. [No book]
[16]Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord. [No book]
[17]Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed. [No book]
[18]And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth. [No book]
