4
They have said, “Come, and (A)let us wipe them out (a)as a nation,
That the (B)name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5
For they have (b)(C)conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
6
The tents of (D)Edom and the (E)Ishmaelites,
(F)Moab and the (G)Hagrites;
7
(H)Gebal and (I)Ammon and (J)Amalek,
(K)Philistia with the inhabitants of (L)Tyre;
8
(M)Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become (c)a help to the (N)children of Lot. (d)Selah.
9
Deal with them (O)as with Midian,
As (P)with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
10
Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who (Q)became as dung for the ground.
11
Make their nobles like (R)Oreb and Zeeb
And all their princes like (S)Zebah and Zalmunna,
12
Who said, “(T)Let us possess for ourselves
The (U)pastures of God.”
