JPS Tanakh 1917 1A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. 2O God, keep not Thou silence; Hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God. 3For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head. 4They hold crafty converse against Thy people, And take counsel against Thy treasured ones. 5They have said: ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.’ 6For they have consulted together with one consent; Against Thee do they make a covenant; 7The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; 8Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 9Assyria also is joined with them; They have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah 10Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon; 11Who were destroyed at En-dor; They became as dung for the earth. 12Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes; 13Who said: ‘Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.’ 14O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind. 15As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze; 16So pursue them with Thy tempest, And affright them with Thy storm. 17Fill their faces with shame; That they may seek Thy name, O LORD. 18Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; Yea, let them be abashed and perish; 19That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, The Most High over all the earth.
