[1] Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! [2] For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. [3] They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. [4] They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more." [5] For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: [6] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; [7] Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; [8] Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah [9] Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, [10] Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth. [11] Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, [12] Who said, "Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession." [13] O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind! [14] As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire, [15] So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm. [16] Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD. [17] Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, [18] That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
