¹ 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!
¹⁴ As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
¹⁵ So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.
¹⁶ Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
¹⁷ Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
¹⁸ That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
