KJV Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleNew International Version
1A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.1A song. A psalm of Asaph. O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.
2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.2See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.3With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
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.4"Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel's name is remembered no more."
5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:5With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you--
6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;7Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.8Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot's descendants.
9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:9Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.12who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.13Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind.
14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;14As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.15so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.16Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name.
17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:17May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art 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.
