- [A song or Psalme of Asaph.]
- 1
- Keepe not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
- 2
- For loe, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lift vp the head.
- 3
- They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
- 4
- They haue said, Come, and let vs cut them off from being a nation: that the name of Israel may bee no more in remembrance.
- 5
- For they haue consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee.
- 6
- The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: of Moab, and the Hagarens.
- 7
- Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
- 8
- Assur also is ioyned with them: they haue holpen the children of Lot.
Selah.
- 9
- Doe vnto them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera, as to Iabin, at the brooke of Kison:
- 10
- Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth.
- 11
- Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
- 12
- Who sayd, Let vs take to our selues, the houses of God in possession.
- 13
- O my God, make them like a wheele: as the stubble before the wind.
- 14
- As the fire burneth a wood: and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
- 15
- So persecute them with thy tempest: and make them afraid with thy storme.
- 16
- Fill their faces with shame: that they may seeke thy name, O Lord.
- 17
- Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea let them be put to shame, and perish:
- 18
- That men may knowe, that thou, whose name alone is IEHOVAH: art the most High ouer all the earth.
