1 God, don’t keep quiet! Don’t close your ears! Please say something, God.
2 Your enemies are getting ready to do something. Those who hate you will soon attack.
3 They are making secret plans against your people. Your enemies are discussing plans against the people you love.
4 They say, “Come, let us destroy them completely. Then no one will ever again remember the name Israel.”
5 God, they have all joined together. They have united against you.
6-7 Their army includes the Edomites, Ishmaelites, Moabites, and Hagar’s descendants, the people of Byblos, Ammon, and Amalek, the Philistines, and the people of Tyre.
8 Even the Assyrians have joined them. They have made Lot’s descendants very powerful. Selah
