New King James Version

International Standard Version

1A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!

1God, do not rest! Don't be silent! Don't stay inactive, God!

2For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

2See! Your enemies rage; those who hate you issue threats.

3They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

3They plot against your people and conspire against your cherished ones.

4They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

4They say, "Let us go and erase them as a nation so the name of Israel will not be remembered anymore."

5For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:

5Indeed, they shrewdly planned together, forming an alliance against you—

6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

6the tents of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, the Hagrites,

7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

7Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre.

8Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

8Even Assyria joined them to strengthen the descendants of Lot. Interlude

9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

9Deal with them as you did to Midian, Sisera, and Jabin at the Kishon Brook.

10Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.

10They were destroyed at En-dor and became as dung on the ground.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

11Punish their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”

12who said, "Let us possess the pastures of God."

13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!

13God, set them up like dried thistles, like straw before the wind.

14As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,

14Like a fire burning a forest, and a flame setting mountains ablaze.

15So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.

15Pursue them with your storm and terrify them with your whirlwind.

16Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.

16Fill their faces with shame until they seek your name, God.

17Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,

17Let them be humiliated and terrified permanently until they die in shame.

18That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

18Then they will know that you alone— whose name is LORD— are the Most High over all the earth.
