| [1]O GOD, who is like unto thee? Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God; |
[1]O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God. |
| [2]For, lo, thine enemies are raging and they that hate thee have lifted up the head against thy people. |
[2]For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
| [3]They have taken crafty counsel, and consulted against thy chosen ones. |
[3]Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints. |
| [4]They have said, Come, let us destroy them from among the nations, that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
[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]For they have agreed with one heart; they have made alliance against thee: |
[5]For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee; |
| [6]The tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites; of Moab and the Gadarenes; |
[6]even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes; |
| [7]The people of the region of Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
[7]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre. |
| [8]The Assyrians have also joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. |
[8]Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause. |
| [9]Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the valley of Kishon; |
[9]Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. |
| [10]Which perished at Endor; they became as manure for the earth. |
[10]They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: 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; |
[11]Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; even all their princes: |
| [12]For they said, Let us inherit for ourselves the city of God. |
[12]who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance. |
| [13]O God, make them like a turning wheel; and like stubble before the wind. |
[13]O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind. |
| [14]As the fire burns a forest and as the flame sets the mountains on fire; |
[14]As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains; |
| [15]So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
[15]so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger. |
| [16]Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
[16]Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord. |
| [17]Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish, |
[17]Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed. |
| [18]That men may know that thou, whose name alone is the LORD, art the most high over all the earth. |
[18]And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth. |
