[1]{A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O ùGod:
[2]For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.
[3]They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:
[4]They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.
[5]For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.
[6]The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;
[7]Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;
[8]Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.
[9]Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:
[10]Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.
[11]Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.
[12]For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.
[13]O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.
[14]As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,
[15]So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.
[16]Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
[17]Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and 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.
