That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
O God, do not remain quiet;
Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,

They make shrewd plans against Your people,
And conspire together against Your treasured ones.

For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,
And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

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

For they have conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:

Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.”

Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.

Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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

Fill their faces with dishonor,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.

O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like chaff before the wind.

Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became as dung for the ground.

Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever,
And let them be humiliated and perish,

So pursue them with Your tempest
And terrify them with Your storm.

Like fire that burns the forest
And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
