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

12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O LORD.16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
