Psalms

A song. A Psalm of Asaph.

O God, Be Not Silent

1O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.+ 2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.+ 3They take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.+ 4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.+ 5For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:+ 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;+ 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:+ 8Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot.[Selah+ 9Do thou unto them as unto 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; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;+ 12Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.+ 13O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.+ 14As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,+ 15So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.+ 16Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.+ 17Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;+ 18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.+
