Holman Christian Standard BibleKing James Bible
1A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle. 1A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2See how Your enemies make an uproar; those who hate You have acted arrogantly. 2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3They devise clever schemes against Your people; they conspire against Your treasured ones. 3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered." 4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against You-- 5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre. 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah 8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9Deal with them as You did with Midian, as You did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. 9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground. 10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna, 11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12who said, "Let us seize God's pastures for ourselves." 12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind. 13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains, 14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm. 15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16Cover their faces with shame so that they will seek Your name Yahweh. 16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace. 17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18May they know that You alone-- whose name is Yahweh-- 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.
