[1] O God, do not remain at rest; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be quiet. [2] For behold, Your enemies roar, And those who hate You have lifted up their heads. [3] They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. [4] They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.” [5] For they have conspired together with one heart; Against You they cut a covenant: [6] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites; [7] Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; [8] Assyria also has joined with them; They have become the power of the children of Lot. Selah. [9] Do to them as to Midian, As to Sisera, and Jabin at the river of Kishon, [10] Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who were as dung for the ground. [11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, [12] Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God.” [13] O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind. [14] Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that burns up the mountains, [15] So pursue them with Your tempest And dismay them with Your storm. [16] Fill their faces with disgrace, That they may seek Your name, O Yahweh. [17] Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish, [18] That they may know that You alone—Your name is Yahweh—Are the Most High over all the earth.
