A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. 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!
