1 O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.2 See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.3 With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.4 "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel's name is remembered no more."5 With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you —6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.8 Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot's descendants. [^1]9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,12 who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind.14 As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,15 so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.16 Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name.17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD — that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.

1 In finem, pro torcularibus filiis Core. Psalmus. 2 [Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine virtutum !3 Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini ;cor meum et caro mea exsultaverunt in Deum vivum.4 Etenim passer invenit sibi domum,et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos :altaria tua, Domine virtutum,rex meus, et Deus meus.5 Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine ;in scula sculorum laudabunt te.6 Beatus vir cujus est auxilium abs te :ascensiones in corde suo disposuit,7 in valle lacrimarum, in loco quem posuit.8 Etenim benedictionem dabit legislator ;ibunt de virtute in virtutem :videbitur Deus deorum in Sion.9 Domine Deus virtutum, exaudi orationem meam ;auribus percipe, Deus Jacob.10 Protector noster, aspice, Deus,et respice in faciem christi tui.11 Quia melior est dies una in atriis tuis super millia ;elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei meimagis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum.12 Quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus :gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.13 Non privabit bonis eos qui ambulant in innocentia :Domine virtutum, beatus homo qui sperat in te.]
