1 Keep not thou silence, O God: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 have taken crafty counsel against thy people,and consulted 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:they are confederate against thee:
6 the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ish´maelites;of Moab, and the Hag´arenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Am´alek;the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also is joined with them:they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Mid´i-anites;as to Sis´era, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 which perished at En–dor:they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Ze´eb:yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmun´na:
12 who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel;as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood,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 for ever;yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 that men may know that thou,whose name alone is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
