[1] O God, keep not thou silence: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
[2] For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
[3] They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult together against thy hidden ones.
[4] They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
[5] For they have consulted together with one consent; against thee do they make a covenant:
[6] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
[7] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
[8] Assyria also is joined with them; they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah
[9] Do thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon:
[10] Which perished at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
[11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna:
[12] Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.
[13] O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
[14] As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire;
[15] So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm.
[16] Fill their faces with confusion; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
[17] Let them be ashamed and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be confounded and perish:
[18] That they may know that thou alone, whose name is JEHOVAH, art the Most High over all the earth.
