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

2Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?

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

5Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you—

7Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.

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

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

11Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,

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

12for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”

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

13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!

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

14As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,

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

15chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.

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

16Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O LORD.

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

17Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.

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

18Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.

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