1O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God. Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up? 3They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones. 4“Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
