| 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. |
