A Song or Psalm of Asaph.

1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

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

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy 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 are confederate against thee:

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

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

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9 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.

1 神啊! 求你不要静默; 神啊! 求你不要闭口, 也不要一言不发。

2 看哪! 你的仇敌喧哗, 恨你的人都抬起头来。

3 他们密谋奸诈, 陷害你的子民; 他们彼此商议, 攻击你所宝贵的人。

4 他们说: "来吧! 我们来把他们除灭, 使他们不再成国, 使以色列的名不再被人记念。"

5 他们同心商议, 彼此结盟, 要和你对抗。

6 他们就是住帐棚的以东人和以实玛利人, 摩押人和夏甲人,

7 迦巴勒、亚扪、亚玛力、非利士和推罗的居民。

8 亚述也和他们联合起来, 作了罗得子孙的帮手。(细拉)

9 求你待他们好像待米甸人, 像在基顺河待西西拉和耶宾一样;

10 他们都在隐.多珥被消灭, 成了地上的粪土。

11 求你使他们的贵族像俄立和西伊伯, 使他们的王子像西巴和撒慕拿。

12 他们曾说: "我们要得着 神的牧场作自己的产业。"

13 我的 神啊! 求你使他们像旋风卷起的草, 像风前的碎秸。

14 火怎样焚烧树林, 火焰怎样燃烧群山,

15 求你也照样用狂风追赶他们, 借暴风雨惊吓他们。

16 耶和华啊! 求你使他们满面羞愧, 好使他们寻求你的名。

17 愿他们永远受辱惊惶, 愿他们抱愧灭亡。

18 使他们知道只有你的名是耶和华, 唯有你是掌管全地的至高者。
