[1] O God, do not remain silent. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. Do not keep quiet, O God. [2] Look, your enemies are in an uproar. Those who hate you hold their heads high. [3] They make plans in secret against your people and plot together against those you treasure. [4] They say, "Let's wipe out their nation so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered." [5] They agree completely on their plan. They form an alliance against you: [6] the tents from Edom and Ishmael, Moab and Hagar, [7] Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia, along with those who live in Tyre. [8] Even Assyria has joined them. They helped the descendants of Lot. Selah [9] Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. [10] They were destroyed at Endor. They became manure to fertilize the ground. [11] Treat their influential people as you treated Oreb and Zeeb. Treat all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna. [12] They said, "Let's take God's pasturelands for ourselves." [13] O my God, blow them away like tumbleweeds, like husks in the wind. [14] Pursue them with your storms, and terrify them with your windstorms [15] the way fire burns a forest and flames set mountains on fire. [16] Let their faces blush with shame, O LORD, so that they must look to you for help. [17] Let them be put to shame and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace [18] so that they must acknowledge you. Your name is the LORD. You alone are the Most High God of the whole earth.
