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 Dieve, netylėk! Dieve, nenurimk ir nebūk tylus!

2 Juk štai Tavo priešai triukšmauja, kelia galvas tie, kurie Tavęs nekenčia.

3 Prieš Tavo tautą jie rengia sąmokslą, tariasi prieš Tavo globotinius.

4 Jie sako: "Eikime, išnaikinkime juos, kad šios tautos nebebūtų ir Izraelio vardo niekas nebeminėtų".

5 Jie tariasi vieningai, susijungia prieš Tave;

6 Edomo ir Moabo stovyklos, izmaelitai ir hagarai,

7 Gebalas, Amonas ir Amalekas, Filistija kartu su Tyro gyventojais.

8 Su jais kartu asirai eina, Loto palikuonims teikia paramą.

9 Padaryk jiems kaip Midjanui, kaip Siserai ir Jabinui prie Kišono upelio;

10 jie prie En Doro sunaikinti buvo, tapo mėšlu žemei patręšti.

11 Padaryk jų kunigaikščius kaip Orebą ir Zeebą, kaip Zebachą bei Calmuną­visus jų vadus,

12 kurie sakė: "Pasiglemžkime Dievo žemes!"

13 Dieve, padaryk juos lyg sūkurio blaškomus lapus, lyg šiaudus prieš vėją.

14 Kaip ugnis sudegina mišką, kaip liepsna nudegina kalnus,

15 taip gainiok juos audromis, gąsdink vėtromis.

16 Viešpatie, sugėdink jų veidus, kad jie ieškotų Tavo vardo!

17 Tegul visada juos gėda ir išgąstis lydi ir gėdoje jie tepražūna.

18 Težino jie, kad Tas, kurio vardas Viešpats, visoje žemėje yra aukščiausias!
