A Song[H7892] or Psalm[H4210] of Asaph[H623]. Keep not thou silence[H1824], O God[H430]: hold not thy peace[H2790], and be not still[H8252], O God[H410].
2
For, lo, thine enemies[H341] make a tumult[H1993]: and they that hate[H8130] thee have lifted up[H5375] the head[H7218].
3
They have taken crafty[H6191] counsel[H5475] against thy people[H5971], and consulted[H3289] against thy hidden ones[H6845].
4
They have said[H559], Come[H3212], and let us cut them off[H3582] from being a nation[H1471]; that the name[H8034] of Israel[H3478] may be no more in remembrance[H2142].
5
For they have consulted[H3289] together[H3162] with one consent[H3820]: they are[H3772] confederate[H1285] against thee:
6
The tabernacles[H168] of Edom[H123], and the Ishmaelites[H3459]; of Moab[H4124], and the Hagarenes[H1905];
7
Gebal[H1381], and Ammon[H5983], and Amalek[H6002]; the Philistines[H6429] with the inhabitants[H3427] of Tyre[H6865];
8
Assur[H804] also is joined[H3867] with them: they have holpen[H2220] the children[H1121] of Lot[H3876]. Selah[H5542].
9
Do[H6213] unto them as unto the Midianites[H4080]; as to Sisera[H5516], as to Jabin[H2985], at the brook[H5158] of Kison[H7028]:
10
Which perished[H8045] at Endor[H5874]: they became as dung[H1828] for the earth[H127].
11
Make[H7896] their nobles[H5081] like Oreb[H6159], and like Zeeb[H2062]: yea, all their princes[H5257] as Zebah[H2078], and as Zalmunna[H6759]:
12
Who said[H559], Let us take to ourselves the houses[H4999] of God[H430] in possession[H3423].
13
O my God[H430], make[H7896] them like a wheel[H1534]; as the stubble[H7179] before[H6440] the wind[H7307].
14
As the fire[H784] burneth[H1197] a wood[H3293], and as the flame[H3852] setteth[H3857] the mountains[H2022] on fire[H3857];
15
So persecute[H7291] them with thy tempest[H5591], and make them afraid[H926] with thy storm[H5492].
16
Fill[H4390] their faces[H6440] with shame[H7036]; that they may seek[H1245] thy name[H8034], O LORD[H3068].
17
Let them be confounded[H954] and troubled[H926] for ever[H5703]; yea, let them be put to shame[H2659], and perish[H6]:
18
That men may know[H3045] that thou, whose name[H8034] alone is JEHOVAH[H3068], art the most high[H5945] over all the earth[H776].
