1A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!2For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads.3They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones.4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”5For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;8Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot.9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”13O my God, make them like whirling dust,* like chaff before the wind.14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord.17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
New International Version
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.2See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.3With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.4‘Come,’ they say, ‘let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.’5With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you –6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,7Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.8Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.*9Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,12who said, ‘Let us take possession of the pasture-lands of God.’13Make them like tumble-weed, my God, like chaff before the wind.14As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,15so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.16Cover their faces with shame, Lord, so that they will seek your name.17May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.18Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord – that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
