A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
Keep not
thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be
not still, O God.
02 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they
that hate thee have lifted up the head.
03 They have taken crafty counsel against thy
people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
04 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.
05 For they have consulted together with one
consent: they are confederate against thee:
06 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
07 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines
with the inhabitants of Tyre;
08 Assur also is joined with them: they have
holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

09 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.
