1 Our God, don't just sit there,silently doing nothing!
2 Your hateful enemiesare turning against youand rebelling.
3 They are sly, and they plotagainst those you treasure.
4 They say, “Let's wipe outthe nation of Israeland make sure that no oneremembers its name!”
5 All of them fully agreein their plans against you,and among them are
6 Edom and the Ishmaelites;Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;Philistia and Phoenicia.
8 Even Assyria has joined forceswith Moab and Ammon.
9 Our Lord, punish all of themas you punished Midian.Destroy them, as you destroyedSisera and Jabinat Kishon Creek
10 near Endor,and let their bodies rot.
11 Treat their leaders as you didOreb and Zeeb,Zebah and Zalmunna.
12 All of them said, “We'll takeGod's valuable land!”
13 Our God, scatter them aroundlike dust in a whirlwind.
14 Just as flames destroy forestson the mountains,
15 pursue and terrify themwith storms of your own.
16 Make them blush with shame,until they turn and worshipyou, our Lord.
17 Let them be for ever ashamedand confused.Let them die in disgrace.
18 Make them realize that youare the Lord Most High,the only ruler of earth!
