[1] Our God, don't just sit there, silently doing nothing! [2] Your hateful enemies are turning against you and rebelling. [3] They are sly, and they plot against those you treasure. [4] They say, "Let's wipe out the nation of Israel and make sure that no one remembers its name!" [5] All of them fully agree in their plans against you, and among them are [6] Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; [7] Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia and Phoenicia. [8] Even Assyria has joined forces with Moab and Ammon. [9] Our Lord, punish all of them as you punished Midian. Destroy them, as you destroyed Sisera and Jabin at Kishon Creek [10] near Endor, and let their bodies rot. [11] Treat their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb, Zebah and Zalmunna. [12] All of them said, "We'll take God's valuable land!" [13] Our God, scatter them around like dust in a whirlwind. [14] Just as flames destroy forests on the mountains, [15] pursue and terrify them with storms of your own. [16] Make them blush with shame, until they turn and worship you, our LORD. [17] Let them be forever ashamed and confused. Let them die in disgrace. [18] Make them realize that you are the LORD Most High, the only ruler of earth!
