A Song or Psalm of Asaph. 1Do not remain silent, O God; nor hold Your peace, or be still.
2For see how Your enemies cause an uproar; and those who hate You have exalted themselves.
3They have conspired against Your people, and plotted against those You protect.
4They have said, “Come, and let us destroy them as a nation; that the name of Israel may no more be remembered”.
5For they are in coalesced into a confederacy against You:
6The tents of Edom, Ishmaelites; Moabites, Hagarenes;
7Gebalites, Ammonites, Amalekites; Philistines, along with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8And even Assyria are joined with them; they have aided the children of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them as You did to the Midianites; to Sisera, and to Jabin, at the brook of Kishon,
10Who perished at En-dor; they became as refuse for the earth.
11Let their nobles die like Oreb, and Zeeb: yea, all their leaders such as Zebah, and as Zalmunna,
12Who said, “Let us seize the houses (temple) of God for ourselves”.
13O my God, make them like a tumbleweed, like stubble before the wind.
14As the fire burns a forest, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15So pursue them with Your tempest, and frighten them with Your storm.
16Humble them, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17Let them be confounded and forever ashamed; yea, let them be humiliated, and perish:
18That men may know that You, Whose name alone is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth. upon Gittith (a stringed instrument), A Psalm for the sons of Korah, upon laying the foundation for the second temple.
