English Translation
A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent;
do not hold aloof;
do not be quiet, O God! For Your enemies rage,
Your foes assert themselves.aassert themselves Lit. “lift up the head.” They plot craftily against Your people,
take counsel against Your treasured ones. They say, “Let us wipe them out as a nation;
Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.” Unanimous in their counsel
they have made an alliance against You— the clans of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria too joins forces with them;
they give support to the descendants of Lot.bthe descendants of Lot I.e., the Moabites and the Ammonites; cf. Gen. 19.36–38. Selah. Deal with them as You did with Midian,
with Sisera, with Jabin,
at the brook Kishon— who were destroyed at En-dor,
who became dung for the field. Treat their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, “Let us take the meadows of God as our possession.” O my God, make them like thistledown,
like stubble driven by the wind. As a fire burns a forest,
as flames scorch the hills, pursue them with Your tempest,
terrify them with Your storm. CovercCover Lit. “Fill.” their faces with shame
so that they seek Your name, O ETERNAL One. May they be frustrated and terrified,
disgraced and doomed forever. May they know
that Your name, Yours alone, is GOD,
supreme over all the earth.
