1O GodH430, 1do not remain quietH1824; 2Do not be silentH2790 and, O GodH410, do not be stillH8252.2For beholdH2009, Your enemiesH340 3makeH1993 an uproarH1993, And 4those who hateH8130 You have 5 6exaltedH5375 themselvesH7218.3They 7makeH6191 shrewdH6191 plansH5475 againstH5921 Your peopleH5971, And 8conspireH3289 together againstH5921 9Your 10treasuredH6845 ones.4They have saidH559, “ComeH1980, and 11let us wipeH3582 them out 12as a nationH1471, That the 13nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 be rememberedH2142 noH3808 moreH5750.”5For they have 14 15conspiredH3289 togetherH3164 with one mindH3820; AgainstH5921 You they makeH3772 a covenantH1285:6The tentsH168 of 16EdomH112 and the 17IshmaelitesH3459, 18MoabH4124 and the 19HagritesH1905;7 20GebalH1381 and 21AmmonH5983 and 22AmalekH6002, 23PhilistiaH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of 24TyreH6865;8 25AssyriaH804 alsoH1571 has joinedH3867 with them; They haveH1961 becomeH1961 26a helpH2220 to the 27childrenH1121 of LotH3876. 28SelahH5542.

9DealH6213 with them 29as with MidianH4080, As 30with SiseraH5516 and JabinH2985 at the torrentH5158 of KishonH7028,10Who were destroyedH8045 at En-dorH5874, Who 31becameH1961 as dungH1828 for the groundH127.11MakeH7896 their noblesH5081 like 32OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062 And allH3605 their princesH5257 like 33ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759,12WhoH834 saidH559, “34Let us possessH3423 for ourselves The 35pasturesH4999 of GodH430.”

13O my GodH430, makeH7896 them like the 36 37whirlingH1534 dustH1534, Like 38chaffH7179 beforeH6440 the windH7307.14Like 39fireH784 that burnsH1197 the forestH3293 And like a flameH3852 that 40setsH3857 the mountainsH2022 on fireH3857,15SoH3651 pursueH7291 them 41with Your tempestH5591 And terrifyH926 them with Your stormH5492.16 42FillH4390 their facesH6440 with dishonorH7036, That they may seekH1245 Your nameH8034, O LordH3068.17Let them be 43ashamedH954 and dismayedH926 foreverH5703, And let them be humiliatedH2659 and perishH6,18That they may 44knowH3045 that 45You aloneH905, whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068, Are the 46MostH5945 HighH5945 overH5921 allH3605 the earthH776.
