1 A Psalm or Song of Asaph. Keep not silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, lo, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your 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 make a covenant against you:

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assyria also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kishon:

10 Who perished at Endor: they became as refuse 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 burns wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;

15 So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.

16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O LORD.

17 Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That men may know that you, whose name alone is the LORD, are the most high over all the earth.
