A Song{H7892} or Psalm{H4210} of Asaph{H623}. Keep not thou silence{H1824}, O God{H430}: hold not thy peace{H2790}{H8799)}, and be not still{H8252}{H8799)}, O God{H410}.

Verse 2

For, lo, thine enemies{H341}{H8802)} make a tumult{H1993}{H8799)}: and they that hate{H8130}{H8764)} thee have lifted up{H5375}{H8804)} the head{H7218}.

Verse 3

They have taken crafty{H6191}{H8686)} counsel{H5475} against thy people{H5971}, and consulted{H3289}{H8691)} against thy hidden ones{H6845}{H8803)}.

Verse 4

They have said{H559}{H8804)}, Come{H3212}{H8798)}, and let us cut them off{H3582}{H8686)} from being a nation{H1471}; that the name{H8034} of Israel{H3478} may be no more in remembrance{H2142}{H8735)}.

Verse 5

For they have consulted{H3289}{H8738)} together{H3162} with one consent{H3820}: they are{H3772}{H8799)} confederate{H1285} against thee:

Verse 6

The tabernacles{H168} of Edom{H123}, and the Ishmaelites{H3459}; of Moab{H4124}, and the Hagarenes{H1905};

Verse 7

Gebal{H1381}, and Ammon{H5983}, and Amalek{H6002}; the Philistines{H6429} with the inhabitants{H3427}{H8802)} of Tyre{H6865};

Verse 8

Assur{H804} also is joined{H3867}{H8738)} with them: they have holpen{H2220} the children{H1121} of Lot{H3876}. Selah{H5542}.

Verse 9

Do{H6213}{H8798)} unto them as unto the Midianites{H4080}; as to Sisera{H5516}, as to Jabin{H2985}, at the brook{H5158} of Kison{H7028}:

Verse 10

Which perished{H8045}{H8738)} at Endor{H5874}: they became as dung{H1828} for the earth{H127}.

Verse 11

Make{H7896}{H8798)} their nobles{H5081} like Oreb{H6159}, and like Zeeb{H2062}: yea, all their princes{H5257} as Zebah{H2078}, and as Zalmunna{H6759}:

Verse 12

Who said{H559}{H8804)}, Let us take to ourselves the houses{H4999} of God{H430} in possession{H3423}{H8799)}.

Verse 13

O my God{H430}, make{H7896}{H8798)} them like a wheel{H1534}; as the stubble{H7179} before{H6440} the wind{H7307}.

Verse 14

As the fire{H784} burneth{H1197}{H8799)} a wood{H3293}, and as the flame{H3852} setteth{H3857} the mountains{H2022} on fire{H3857}{H8762)};

Verse 15

So persecute{H7291}{H8799)} them with thy tempest{H5591}, and make them afraid{H926}{H8762)} with thy storm{H5492}.

Verse 16

Fill{H4390}{H8761)} their faces{H6440} with shame{H7036}; that they may seek{H1245}{H8762)} thy name{H8034}, O LORD{H3068}.

Verse 17

Let them be confounded{H954}{H8799)} and troubled{H926}{H8735)} for ever{H5703}; yea, let them be put to shame{H2659}{H8799)}, and perish{H6}{H8799)}:

Verse 18

That men may know{H3045}{H8799)} that thou, whose name{H8034} alone is JEHOVAH{H3068}, art the most high{H5945} over all the earth{H776}.
