New Living Translation

1A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle.

1O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.

2See how Your enemies make an uproar; those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

2Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?

3They devise clever schemes against Your people; they conspire against Your treasured ones.

3They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones.

4They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered."

4“Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”

5For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against You--

5Yes, this was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you—

6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

6these Edomites and Ishmaelites; Moabites and Hagrites;

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

7Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites; and people from Philistia and Tyre.

8Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah

8Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude

9Deal with them as You did with Midian, as You did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

9Do to them as you did to the Midianites and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

10They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground.

10They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders 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 seize God's pastures for ourselves."

12for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!”

13Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind.

13O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind!

14As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains,

14As a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,

15so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm.

15chase them with your fierce storm; terrify them with your tempest.

16Cover their faces with shame so that they will seek Your name Yahweh.

16Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O LORD.

17Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace.

17Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace.

18May they know that You alone-- whose name is Yahweh-- 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.
