[[A song, or Psalm Chapter committed to Asaph.]]
[1] Keep not thou silence, O God: be not still, and cease not, O God.
[2] For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, have lifted up the head.
[3] They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy secret ones.
[4] They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.
[5] For they have consulted together in heart, and have made a league against thee:
[6] The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarenes:
[7] Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre:
[8] Assur also is joined with them: they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah.
[9] Do thou to them as unto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Jabin at the river of Kison.
[10] They perished at Endor, and were dung for the earth.
[11] Make them , even their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmunna.
[12] Which have said, Let us take for our possession the habitations of God.
[13] O my God, make them like unto a wheel , and as the stubble before the wind.
[14] As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:
[15] So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
[16] Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
[17] Let them be confounded and troubled forever: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,
[18] That they may know that thou, which art called Jehovah, art alone, even the Most High over all the earth.
