[1] A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
[2] O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
[3] For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
[4] They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
[5] 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.'
[6] For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make covenant;
[7] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
[8] Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
[9] Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah
[10] Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
[11] Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
[12] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
[13] Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
[14] O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
[15] As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
[16] So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
[17] Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
[18] Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
[19] That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the Most High over all the earth.
