[1] O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
[2] For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.
[3] They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.
[4] They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
[5] For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:
[6] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites;
[7] Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
[8] Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.
[9] Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
[10] Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.
[11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
[12] Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God.”
[13] O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.
[14] Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
[15] So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.
[16] Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
[17] Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,
[18] That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
