A song. A Psalm of Asaph.

O God, Be Not Silent

1God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.+ 2For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.+ 3They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.+ 4“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”+ 5For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.+ 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;+ 7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;+ 8Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.+ 9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;+ 10who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.+ 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;+ 12who said, “Let us take possession of God’s pasture lands.”+ 13My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.+ 14As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,+ 15so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.+ 16Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.+ 17Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;+ 18that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.+
