[1] A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, let there be no silence to You, || Do not be silent, nor be quiet, O God. [2] For behold, Your enemies roar, || And those hating You have lifted up the head, [3] They take crafty counsel against Your people, || And consult against Your hidden ones. [4] They have said, “Come, and we cut them off from [being] a nation, || And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.” [5] For they consulted in heart together, || They make a covenant against You, [6] Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes, [7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre, [8] Asshur is also joined with them, || They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah. [9] Do to them as Midian, || As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon. [10] They were destroyed at Endor, || They were dung for the ground! [11] Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, || And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes, [12] Who have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.” [13] O my God, make them as a rolling thing, || As stubble before wind. [14] As a fire burns a forest, || And as a flame sets hills on fire, [15] So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, || And trouble them with Your windstorm. [16] Fill their faces [with] shame, || And they seek Your Name, O YHWH. [17] They are ashamed and troubled forever, || Indeed, they are confounded and lost. [18] And they know that You—Your Name [is] YHWH—By Yourself [are] the Most High over all the earth!
