1 D o not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!

2 F or behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

3 T hey have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

4 T hey have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 F or they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:

6 T he tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

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

8 A ssyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

9 D eal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

10 W ho perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.

11 M ake their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 W ho 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!

14 A s the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,

15 S o pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.

16 F ill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O Lord.

17 L et them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,

18 T hat they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
