1 | 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: 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. |
