O God, ado not remain quiet; bDo not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
2For behold, Your enemies amake an uproar, And bthose who hate You have 1 cexalted themselves.
3They amake shrewd plans against Your people, And 1conspire together against bYour 2treasured ones.
4They have said, "Come, and alet us wipe them out 1as a nation, That the bname of Israel be remembered no more."
5For they have 1 aconspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:
6The tents of aEdom and the bIshmaelites, cMoab and the dHagrites;
7aGebal and bAmmon and cAmalek, dPhilistia with the inhabitants of eTyre;
8aAssyria also has joined with them; They have become 1a help to the bchildren of Lot. 2Selah.
9Deal with them aas with Midian, As bwith Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who abecame as dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like aOreb and Zeeb And all their princes like bZebah and Zalmunna,
12Who said, " aLet us possess for ourselves The bpastures of God."
13O my God, make them like the 1 awhirling dust, Like bchaff before the wind.
14Like afire that burns the forest And like a flame that bsets the mountains on fire,
15So pursue them awith Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.
16aFill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17Let them be aashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,
18That they may aknow that bYou alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the cMost High over all the earth.
