A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.

¹ O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

² For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.

³ They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:

⁴ They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

⁵ For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.

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

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

⁸ Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

⁹ Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:

¹⁰ Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.

¹¹ Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.

¹² For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.

¹³ O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.

¹⁴ As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,

¹⁵ So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.

¹⁶ Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

¹⁷ Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:

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