1O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!1O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
2For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads.2Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
3They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones.3They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones.

6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,6these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;
7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;7Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.
8Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah8Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude

10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.10They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,11Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”12for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”
13O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!
14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,14As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!15chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.
16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O LORD.16Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O LORD.
17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,17Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.
18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.18Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.
