2O God, keep not Thou silence;

Hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

3For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar;

And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

4They hold crafty converse against Thy people,

And take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

5They have said: ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;

That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.’

6For they have consulted together with one consent;

Against Thee do they make a covenant;

7The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;

Moab, and the Hagrites;

8Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

9Assyria also is joined with them;

They have been an arm to the children of Lot.

10Do Thou unto them as unto Midian;

As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

11Who were destroyed at En-dor;

They became as dung for the earth.

12Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

13Who said: ‘Let us take to ourselves in possession

The habitations of God.’

14O my God, make them like the whirling dust;

As stubble before the wind.

15As the fire that burneth the forest,

And as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

16So pursue them with Thy tempest,

And affright them with Thy storm.

17Fill their faces with shame;

That they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

18Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever;

Yea, let them be abashed and perish;

19That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD,

The Most High over all the earth.
