|
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.
