1A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!

1God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be quiet.

2For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

2See how your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have acted arrogantly.

3They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

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

4They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

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

5For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:

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

6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;

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

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

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

8Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

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

9Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

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

10Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.

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

11Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”

12who said, "Let us seize God's pastures for ourselves."

13O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!

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

14As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,

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

15So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.

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

16Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.

16Cover their faces with shame so that they will seek your name, LORD.

17Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,

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

18That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

18May they know that you alone--whose name is the LORD--are the Most High over the whole earth.
