O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
2. |
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
3. |
Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones. |
4. |
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
5. |
For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant: |
6. |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
7. |
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre: |
8. |
Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah |
9. |
Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; |
10. |
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth. |
11. |
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; |
12. |
Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God. |
13. |
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind. |
14. |
As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire, |
15. |
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm. |
16. |
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. |
17. |
Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish; |
18. |
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. |
