A Song or Psalm of Asaph

1Keep not Your silence, O God: hold not Your peace, and be not still, O God.

2For, lo, Your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate You have lifted up the head.   rage; exalted themselves

3They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted against Your hidden ones.

4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against You:   mind; united

6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;   dwelling places

7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

9Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.   manure

11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;

15So persecute them with Your tempest, and make them afraid with Your storm.

16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Your name, O Lord.

17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:   disappointed

18That men may know that You, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the Most High over all the earth.
