^[1]  O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

^[1]  ---

^[2]  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

^[2]  ---

^[3]  They take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.

^[3]  ---

^[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.

^[4]  ---

^[5]  For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:

^[5]  ---

^[6]  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;

^[6]  ---

^[7]  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

^[7]  ---

^[8]  Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. [Selah

^[8]  ---

^[9]  Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

^[9]  ---

^[10]  Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.

^[10]  ---

^[11]  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

^[11]  ---

^[12]  Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

^[12]  ---

^[13]  O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

^[13]  ---

^[14]  As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,

^[14]  ---

^[15]  So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.

^[15]  ---

^[16]  Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

^[16]  ---

^[17]  Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;

^[17]  ---

^[18]  That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
