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: 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. |
