HCSB Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew International Version
1A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle. 1A song. A psalm of Asaph. O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.
2See how Your enemies make an uproar; those who hate You have acted arrogantly. 2See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
3They devise clever schemes against Your people; they conspire against Your treasured ones. 3With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
4They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered." 4"Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel's name is remembered no more."
5For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against You-- 5With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you--
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre. 7Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah 8Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot's descendants.
9Deal with them as You did with Midian, as You did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. 9Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground. 10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna, 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, "Let us seize God's pastures for ourselves." 12who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
13Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind. 13Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind.
14As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains, 14As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm. 15so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
16Cover their faces with shame so that they will seek Your name Yahweh. 16Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name.
17Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace. 17May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
18May they know that You alone-- whose name is Yahweh-- are the Most High over all the earth. 18Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
