| 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 Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
| 7 | Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
| 8 | Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
| 9 | Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
| 10 | [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for the earth. |
| 11 | Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: |
| 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. |
