A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
2 |
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
3 |
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
4 |
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
5 |
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: |
6 |
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
7 |
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
8 |
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
9 |
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
10 |
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. |
11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: |
12 |
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. |
13 |
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. |
14 |
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; |
15 |
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
16 |
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
17 |
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: |
18 |
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. |
