1A song <07892>, a psalm <04210> of Asaph <0623>. O God <0430>, do not <0408> be silent <01824>! Do not <0408> ignore <02790> us! Do not <0408> be inactive <08252>, O God <0410>!
2For <03588> look <02009>, your enemies <0341> are making a commotion <01993>; those who hate <08130> you are hostile <07218> <05375>.
3They carefully <06191> plot <05475> against <05921> your people <05971>, and make plans <03289> to harm the ones you cherish <06845>.
4They say <0559>, “Come <01980> on, let’s annihilate <03582> them so they are no longer a nation <01471>! Then the name <08034> of Israel <03478> will be remembered <02142> no <03808> more <05750>.”
5Yes <03588>, they devise <03289> a unified <03162> strategy <03820>; they form <03772> an alliance <01285> against <05921> you.
6It includes the tents <0168> of Edom <0123> and the Ishmaelites <03459>, Moab <04124> and the Hagrites <01905>,
7Gebal <01381>, Ammon <05983>, and Amalek <06002>, Philistia <06429> and the inhabitants <03427> of Tyre <06865>.
8Even <01571> Assyria <0804> has allied <03867> with <05973> them, lending <01961> its strength <02220> to the descendants <01121> of Lot <03876>. (Selah <05542>)
9Do <06213> to them <01992> as you did to Midian <04080>– as you did to Sisera <05516> and Jabin <02985> at the Kishon <07028> River <05158>!
10They were destroyed <08045> at Endor <05874>; their corpses were <01961> like manure <01828> on the ground <0127>.
11Make <07896> their nobles <05081> like Oreb <06159> and Zeeb <02062>, and all <03605> their rulers <05257> like Zebah <02078> and Zalmunna <06759>,
12who <0834> said <0559>, “Let’s take over <03423> the pastures <04999> of God <0430>!”
13O my God <0430>, make <07896> them like dead thistles <01534>, like dead weeds <07179> blown away by <06440> the wind <07307>!
14Like the fire <0784> that burns down <01197> the forest <03293>, or the flames <03852> that consume <03857> the mountainsides <02022>,
15chase <07291> them with your gale winds <05591>, and terrify <0926> them with your windstorm <05492>.
16Cover <04390> their faces <06440> with shame <07036>, so they might seek <01245> you, O Lord <03068>.
17May they be humiliated <0954> and continually <05703> terrified <0926>! May they die <06> in shame <02659>!
18Then they will know <03045> that <03588> you <0859> alone <0905> are the Lord <03068> <08034>, the sovereign <05945> king over <05921> all <03605> the earth <0776>.
