[A song, a psalm of Asaph.] O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God! |
2
|
For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile. |
3
|
They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish. |
4
|
They say, "Come on, let's annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more." |
5
|
Yes, they devise a unified strategy; they form an alliance against you. |
6
|
It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, |
7
|
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. |
8
|
Even Assyria has allied with them, lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. (Selah) |
9
|
Do to them as you did to Midian— as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River! |
10
|
They were destroyed at Endor; their corpses were like manure on the ground. |
11
|
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna, |
12
|
who said, "Let's take over the pastures of God!" |
13
|
O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind! |
14
|
Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides, |
15
|
chase them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your windstorm. |
16
|
Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O LORD. |
17
|
May they be humiliated and continually terrified! May they die in shame! |
18
|
Then they will know that you alone are the LORD, the sovereign king over all the earth. |
