[1] God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, God, do not be still. [2] For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves. [3] They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. [4] They have said, “Come, and let’s wipe them out as a nation, So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.” [5] For they have conspired together with one mind; They make a covenant 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 them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah [9] Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon, [10] Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became like dung for the ground. [11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna, [12] Who said, “Let’s possess for ourselves The pastures of God.” [13] 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 sets the mountains on fire, [15] So pursue them with Your heavy gale, And terrify them with Your storm. [16] Fill their faces with dishonor, So that they will seek Your name, Lord. [17] May they be ashamed and dismayed forever, And may they be humiliated and perish, [18] So that they will know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
