NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1A song, a psalm of Asaph. O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God! 1O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
2For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile. 2Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
3They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish. 3They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones.
4They say, "Come on, let's annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more." 4“Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
5Yes, they devise a unified strategy; they form an alliance against you. 5Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you—
6It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 6these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;
7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. 7Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.
8Even Assyria has allied with them, lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. (Selah) 8Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude
9Do to them as you did to Midian--as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River! 9Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10They were destroyed at Endor; their corpses were like manure on the ground. 10They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna, 11Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, "Let's take over the pastures of God!" 12for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”
13O my God, make them like dead thistles, like dead weeds blown away by the wind! 13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!
14Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides, 14As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
15chase them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your windstorm. 15chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.
16Cover their faces with shame, so they might seek you, O LORD. 16Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O LORD.
17May they be humiliated and continually terrified! May they die in shame! 17Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.
18Then they will know that you alone are the LORD, the sovereign king over all the earth. 18Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.
