A song. A Psalm by Asaph.
[1] God, don’t keep silent.Don’t keep silent,
and don’t be still, God.
[2] For, behold, your enemies are stirred up.
Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
[3] They conspire with cunning against your people.
They plot against your cherished ones.
[4] “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
[5] For they have conspired together with one mind.
They form an alliance against you.
[6] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab, and the Hagrites;
[7] Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
[8] Assyria also is joined with them.
They have helped the children of Lot.
Selah. [9] Do to them as you did to Midian,
as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
[10] who perished at Endor,
who became as dung for the earth.
[11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
[12] who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
[13] My God, make them like tumbleweed,
like chaff before the wind.
[14] As the fire that burns the forest,
as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
[15] so pursue them with your tempest,
and terrify them with your storm.
[16] Fill their faces with confusion,
that they may seek your name, Yahweh.
[17] Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever.
Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
[18] that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh,
are the Most High over all the earth.
King James Version
A Song H7892 or Psalm H4210 of Asaph. H623
[1] Keep not thou silence, H1824 O God: H430Hold not thy peace, H2790 (QalImpf) and be not still, H8252 (QalImpf) O God. H410
[2] For, lo, thine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) make a tumult: H1993 (QalImpf)
And they that hate H8130 (PielPtc) thee have lifted up H5375 (QalPerf) the head. H7218
[3] They have taken crafty H6191 (HiphImpf) counsel H5475 against thy people, H5971
And consulted H3289 (HithImpf) against thy hidden ones. H6845 (QalPasPtc)
[4] They have said, H559 (QalPerf) Come, H3212 (QalImpv) and let us cut them off H3582 (HiphImpf) from being a nation; H1471
That the name H8034 of Israel H3478 may be no more in remembrance. H2142 (NiphImpf)
[5] For they have consulted H3289 (NiphPerf) together H3162 with one consent: H3820§
They are H3772 (QalImpf) confederate H1285 against thee:
[6] The tabernacles H168 of Edom, H123 and the Ishmaelites; H3459
Of Moab, H4124 and the Hagarenes; H1905
[7] Gebal, H1381 and Ammon, H5983 and Amalek; H6002
The Philistines H6429 with the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Tyre; H6865
[8] Assur H804 also is joined H3867 (NiphPerf) with them:
They have holpen H2220 the children H1121 of Lot. H3876§ Selah. H5542
[9] Do H6213 (QalImpv) unto them as unto the Midianites; H4080
As to Sisera, H5516 as to Jabin, H2985 at the brook H5158 of Kison: H7028
[10] Which perished H8045 (NiphPerf) at Endor: H5874
They became as dung H1828 for the earth. H127
[11] Make H7896 (QalImpv) their nobles H5081 like Oreb, H6159 and like Zeeb: H2062
Yea, all their princes H5257 as Zebah, H2078 and as Zalmunna: H6759
[12] Who said, H559 (QalPerf) Let us take to ourselves
The houses H4999 of God H430 in possession. H3423 (QalImpf)
[13] O my God, H430 make H7896 (QalImpv) them like a wheel; H1534
As the stubble H7179 before H6440 the wind. H7307
[14] As the fire H784 burneth H1197 (QalImpf) a wood, H3293
And as the flame H3852 setteth H3857 the mountains H2022 on fire; H3857 (PielImpf)
[15] So persecute H7291 (QalImpf) them with thy tempest, H5591
And make them afraid H926 (PielImpf) with thy storm. H5492
[16] Fill H4390 (PielImpv) their faces H6440 with shame; H7036
That they may seek H1245 (PielImpf) thy name, H8034 O Lord. H3068
[17] Let them be confounded H954 (QalImpf) and troubled H926 (NiphImpf) for ever; H5703
Yea, let them be put to shame, H2659 (QalImpf) and perish: H6 (QalImpf)
[18] That men may know H3045 (QalImpf) that thou, whose name H8034 alone is JEHOVAH, H3068
Art the Most High H5945 over all the earth. H776
