¹ Our God, don't just sit there,
    silently doing nothing!
² Your hateful enemies
are turning against you
    and rebelling.
³ They are sly, and they plot
    against those you treasure.
⁴ They say, "Let's wipe out
    the nation of Israel
    and make sure that no one
    remembers its name!"

⁵ All of them fully agree
in their plans against you,
    and among them are
⁶ Edom and the Ishmaelites;
    Moab and the Hagrites;
⁷     Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
    Philistia and Phoenicia.^[a]
8 Even Assyria has joined forces
    with Moab and Ammon.^[b]

⁹ Our Lord, punish all of them
    as you punished Midian.
Destroy them, as you destroyed
    Sisera and Jabin
    at Kishon Creek ¹⁰ near Endor,
    and let their bodies rot.
¹¹ Treat their leaders as you did
    Oreb and Zeeb,
    Zebah and Zalmunna.
¹² All of them said, "We'll take
    God's valuable land!"

¹³ Our God, scatter them around
    like dust in a whirlwind.
¹⁴ Just as flames destroy forests
    on the mountains,
¹⁵     pursue and terrify them
    with storms of your own.
¹⁶ Make them blush with shame,
    until they turn and worship
    you, our Lord.
¹⁷ Let them be forever ashamed
and confused.
    Let them die in disgrace.
¹⁸ Make them realize that you
are the Lord Most High,
    the only ruler of earth!
