O God, keep not Thou silence;
Hold not Thy peace, and be not still,
O God.
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an
uproar;
And they that hate Thee have lifted up
the head.
They hold crafty converse against Thy
people,
And take counsel against Thy
treasured ones.
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."
For they have consulted together with
one consent;
Against Thee do they make a
covenant;
The tents of Edom and the
Ishmaelites;
Moab, and the Hagrites;

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also is joined with them;
They have been an arm to the children
of Lot. Selah.

Do Thou unto them as unto Midian;
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook
Kishon;
Who were destroyed at En-dor;
They became as dung for the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their
princes;
Who said: " Let us take to ourselves in
possession
The habitations of God."
O my God, make them like the
whirling dust;
As stubble before the wind.
As the fire that burneth the forest,
And as the flame that setteth the
mountains ablaze;
So pursue them with Thy tempest,
And affright them with Thy storm.
Fill their faces with shame;
That they may seek Thy name, O
Lord.
Let them be ashamed and affrighted
for ever;
Yea, let them be abashed and perish;
That they may know that it is Thou
alone whose name is the Lord,
The Most High over all the earth.
