Only Version ❧ CM/CMD · 8·6·8·6 (D)
A Psalm or Song of Asaph,
1 O God, do not thou silence keep: O do not thou refrain thyself from speaking, and, O God, do not thou dumb remain. 2 For lo, thine enemies that be do rage tumultuously: and they that haters be of thee have lift the head on high.
3 Against those that thy people be they crafty counsel take; also against thy hidden ones they consultation make. 4 They said, lest they a nation be, let’s cut them down therefore, that in remembrance Isr’el’s name may not be any more.
5 For they together taken have counsel with one consent, and in confederation against thee they are bent. 6 The tabernacles of Edom and of the Ishma’lites: the people of the Hagarenes and of the Moabites.
7 The men of Gebal, with Ammon, and Amalek conspire, the Philistines, with them that be inhabitants of Tyre. 8 Assyria moreover is conjoined unto them: and help they have administer’d unto Lot’s childeren. Selah.
9 As thou didst to the Midianites, so to them be it done: as unto Sis’ra and Jabin at the brook of Kison: 10 Who near to Endor suddenly were quite discomfited: who also did become as dung that on the earth is spread.
11 Like unto Oreb, and like Zeeb make thou their nobles fall, yea, as Zebah and Zalmunna make thou their princes all. 12 Who said, for our possession God’s houses let us take. 13 My God, thou like a wheel, like straw before the wind them make.
14 As fire doth burn a wood, and as the flame sets hills on fire; 15 So with thy tempest them pursue, and fright them in thine ire. 16 Do thou their faces all fill full of ignomin’ous shame: that so they may, O Lord, be made to seek after thy name.
17 Confounded let them ever be, and terribly troubl’d: yea, let them be put unto shame, and be extinguished. 18 That men may know; that thou whose name Jehovah is only, art over all the earth throughout advanced the most high.
