⁰A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

¹O God, let there be no silence from you; do not be mute, and do not be still, O God.

²For look, your enemies are roaring, and those who hate you have lifted up the head.

³Against your people they craftily shape their secret counsel, and they consult together against your treasured ones.

⁴They have said, Come, let us efface them from being a nation, so that the name of Israel is remembered no more.

⁵For they have consulted with one heart; against you they cut a covenant.

⁶The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

⁷Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with those who dwell in Tyre.

⁸Even Assyria has joined with them; they have become an arm for the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Do to them as to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the wadi of Kishon,

¹⁰who were wiped out at En-dor; they became dung for the ground.

¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmunna,

¹²who said, Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.

¹³My God, make them like a whirl of dust, like stubble before the face of the wind.

¹⁴As fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,

¹⁵so you will pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm-wind.

¹⁶Fill their faces with shame, so that they seek your name, Yahweh.

¹⁷May they be ashamed and terrified forever and ever, and may they be abashed and perish,

¹⁸and may they know that you, whose name is Yahweh, you alone, are the Most High over all the land.
