1O God, keep not thou silence:
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;
And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3They take crafty counsel against thy people,
And consult together against thy hidden ones.

4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5For they have consulted together with one consent;
Against thee do they make a covenant:

6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab, and the Hagrites;

7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

8Assyria also is joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

9Do thou unto them as unto Midian,
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

10Who perished at Endor,
Who became as dung for the earth.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;
Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

12Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession
The habitations of God.

13O my God, make them like the whirling dust;
As stubble before the wind.

14As the fire that burneth the forest,
And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,

15So pursue them with thy tempest,
And terrify them with thy storm.

16Fill their faces with confusion,
That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
Yea, let them be confounded and perish;

18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,
Art the Most High over all the earth.
