| 1God, do not rest! Don't be silent! Don't stay inactive, God! | 1A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
| 2See! Your enemies rage; those who hate you issue threats. | 2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
| 3They plot against your people and conspire against your cherished ones. | 3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
| 4They say, "Let us go and erase them as a nation so the name of Israel will not be remembered anymore." | 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. |
| 5Indeed, they shrewdly planned together, forming an alliance against you— | 5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: |
| 6the tents of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, the Hagrites, | 6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
| 7Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre. | 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
| 8Even Assyria joined them to strengthen the descendants of Lot. Interlude | 8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
| 9Deal with them as you did to Midian, Sisera, and Jabin at the Kishon Brook. | 9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
| 10They were destroyed at En-dor and became as dung on the ground. | 10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. |
| 11Punish their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes 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 possess the pastures of God." | 12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. |
| 13God, set them up like dried thistles, like straw before the wind. | 13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. |
| 14Like a fire burning a forest, and a flame setting mountains ablaze. | 14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; |
| 15Pursue them with your storm and terrify them with your whirlwind. | 15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
| 16Fill their faces with shame until they seek your name, God. | 16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
| 17Let them be humiliated and terrified permanently until they die in shame. | 17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: |
| 18Then they will know that you alone— whose name is 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. |
