O God, Do Not Keep Silence

1 A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! (Ps 28:1; Ps 50:1) 2 For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. (Jud 8:28; Ps 2:1) 3 They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. (Ne 4:8; Ps 27:5; Ps 31:20) 4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” (Es 3:6; Ps 74:8; Jer 48:2) 5 For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant— 6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, (Ge 25:12; 1Ch 5:10; 2Ch 20:10; Ps 137:7)

8 Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. (De 2:9; De 2:19; 2Ki 15:19) 9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, (Nu 31:7; Jud 4:7; Jud 4:15; Jud 4:24; Jud 5:21; Isa 9:4)

10 who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. (Jos 17:11; 1Sa 28:7; Job 20:7) 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, (Jud 7:25; Jud 8:3; Jud 8:5) 12 who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.” (2Ch 20:11) 13 O my God, make them like whirling dust,^[1] like chaff before the wind. (Job 13:25; Job 21:18; Ps 1:4; Isa 17:13)

14 As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, (De 32:22; Isa 9:18; Isa 10:16) 15 so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane! (Job 9:17) 16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord. (Job 10:15; Ps 35:4; Ps 35:26) 17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, (Ps 35:4) 18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth. (Ex 6:3; Ps 9:2; Ps 18:13; Ps 59:13; Ps 97:9)

تَسْبِيحَةٌ: مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ

1 يَا اللهُ لَا تَصْمُتْ. لَا تَسْكُتْ وَلَا تَهْدَأْ يَا اللهُ. 2 هُوَذا أَعْدَاؤُكَ ثَائِرُونَ، وَمُبْغِضُوكَ يَشْمَخُونَ بِرُؤُوسِهِمْ. 3 يَتَآمَرُونَ بِالْمَكْرِ عَلَى شَعْبِكَ، وَيَكِيدُونَ لِلإِيقَاعِ بِمَنْ تَحْمِيهِمْ. 4 يَقُولُونَ: «هَلُمَّ نَسْتَأْصِلُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، فَلَا يُذْكَرَ اسْمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ». 5 فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَآمَرُوا مَعاً بِقَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَعَقَدُوا حِلْفاً ضِدَّكَ. 6 عَشَائِرُ أَدُومَ وَبَنُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ، نَسْلُ مُوآبَ وَبَنُو هَاجَرَ. 7 جِبَالُ وَعَمُّونُ وَعَمَالِيقُ، الفَلَسْطِينِيُّونَ وَأَهْلُ صُورَ، 8 وَقَوْمُ أَشُّورَ أَيْضاً انْضَمُّوا إِلَيْهِمْ، صَارُوا عَوْناً لِبَنِي لُوطٍ. 9 افْعَلْ بِهِمْ كَمَا فَعَلْتَ بِمِدْيَانَ وَسِيسَرَا وَيَابِينَ فِي نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ. 10 بَادُوا فِي عَيْنِ دُورٍ، وصَارُوا زِبْلاً للأَرْضِ. 11 اجْعَلْ مَصِيرَ أَشْرَافِهِمْ كَمَصِيرِ غُرَابٍ وَذِئْبٍ، وَجَمِيعَ أُمَرَائِهِمْ مِثْلَ زَبَحَ وَصَلْمُنَّاعَ، 12 الَّذِينَ قَالُوا: لِنَسْتَوْلِ عَلَى مَسَاكِنِ اللهِ. 13 يَا إِلَهِي، بَدِّدْهُمْ كَالْقَشِّ الْمُتَطَايِرِ، وَكَالتِّبْنِ فِي مَهَبِّ الرِّيحِ. 14 كَمَا تَحْرِقُ النَّارُ الْغَابَةَ، وَكَمَا يُشْعِلُ لَهِيبُهَا الْجِبَالَ، 15 هَكَذَا طَارِدْهُمْ بِعَاصِفَتِكَ، وَأَفْزِعْهُمْ بِزَوْبَعَتِكَ. 16 امْلأْ وُجُوهَهُمْ خِزْياً فَيَلْتَمِسُوا اسْمَكَ يَا رَبُّ. 17 لِيَحُلَّ بِهِمِ الْعَارُ وَالرُّعْبُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَلْيَخْزَوْا وَيَهْلِكُوا. 18 وَيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ، يَهْوَه الْعَلِيُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا.
