1 A
Song or
Psalm of
Asaph.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 #Eyn-Do#r#: 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.
