God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God. |
2
|
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. |
3
|
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. |
4
|
'Come,' they say, 'and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.' |
5
|
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. |
6
|
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; |
7
|
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
8
|
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. |
9
|
Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; |
10
|
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth. |
11
|
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; |
12
|
Who said, 'Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands.' |
13
|
My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind. |
14
|
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire, |
15
|
So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm. |
16
|
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh. |
17
|
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish; |
18
|
That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. |
