1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God. | C | TOSK |
2 See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads. | C | TOSK |
3 With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish, | C | TOSK |
4 saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.” | C | TOSK |
5 For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You— | C | TOSK |
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, | C | TOSK |
7 of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre. | C | TOSK |
8 Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah | C | TOSK |
9 Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon, | C | TOSK |
10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground. | C | TOSK |
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, | C | TOSK |
12 who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.” | C | TOSK |
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind. | C | TOSK |
14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze, | C | TOSK |
15 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm. | C | TOSK |
16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD. | C | TOSK |
17 May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace. | C | TOSK |
18 May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth. | C | TOSK |
