| 1God, do not rest! Don't be silent! Don't stay inactive, God! | 1A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still. |
| 2See! Your enemies rage; those who hate you issue threats. | 2For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves. |
| 3They plot against your people and conspire against your cherished ones. | 3They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured 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 wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." |
| 5Indeed, they shrewdly planned together, forming an alliance against you— | 5For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant: |
| 6the tents of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, the Hagrites, | 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites; |
| 7Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre. | 7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
| 8Even Assyria joined them to strengthen the descendants of Lot. Interlude | 8Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah. |
| 9Deal with them as you did to Midian, Sisera, and Jabin at the Kishon Brook. | 9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon, |
| 10They were destroyed at En-dor and became as dung on the ground. | 10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground. |
| 11Punish their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, | 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, |
| 12who said, "Let us possess the pastures of God." | 12Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God." |
| 13God, set them up like dried thistles, like straw before the wind. | 13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind. |
| 14Like a fire burning a forest, and a flame setting mountains ablaze. | 14Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire, |
| 15Pursue them with your storm and terrify them with your whirlwind. | 15So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm. |
| 16Fill their faces with shame until they seek your name, God. | 16Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD. |
| 17Let them be humiliated and terrified permanently until they die in shame. | 17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish, |
| 18Then they will know that you alone— whose name is LORD— are the Most High over all the earth. | 18That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth. |
