1O God, do not keep silent;

do not hold your peace or be still, O God!*

2Even now your enemies are in tumult;

those who hate you have raised their heads.*

3They lay crafty plans against your people;

they consult together against those you protect.*

4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;

let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”*

5They conspire with one accord;

against you they make a covenant—*

6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

Moab and the Hagrites,*

7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8Assyria also has joined them;

they are the strong arm of the children of Lot.   Selah

9Do to them as you did to Midian,

as to Sisera and Jabin at the Wadi Kishon,*

10who were destroyed at En-dor,

who became dung for the ground.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,*

12who said, “Let us take the pastures of God

for our own possession.”*

13O my God, make them like whirling dust,r

like chaff before the wind.*

14As fire consumes the forest,

as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,*

15so pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your hurricane.*

16Fill their faces with shame,

so that they may seek your name, O Lord.

17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;

let them perish in disgrace.*

18Let them know that you alone,

whose name is the Lord,

are the Most High over all the earth.*
