| A Prayer for the Destruction of Israel's Enemies |
| A Song or Psalm of Asaph. |
|
| 1 |
Keep not thou silence, O God:
| |
|
hold not thy peace, |
|
and be not still, O God. |
|
|
| 2 |
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:
| |
|
and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
|
|
| 3 |
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,
| |
|
and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
|
|
| 4 |
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
| |
|
that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. |
|
|
| 5 |
For they have consulted together with one consent:
| |
|
they are confederate against thee: |
|
|
| 6 |
the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ish'maelites;
| |
|
of Moab, and the Hag'arenes; |
|
|
| 7 |
Gebal, and Ammon, and Am'alek;
| |
|
the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
|
|
| 8 |
Assur also is joined with them:
| |
|
they have helped the children of Lot.
Selah.
|
|
|
| 9 |
Do unto them as unto the Mid'i-anites; Judg. 7.1-23
| |
|
as to Sis'era, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Judg. 4.6-22 |
|
|
| 10 |
which perished at En–dor:
| |
|
they became as dung for the earth. |
|
|
| 11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Ze'eb: Judg. 7.25
| |
|
yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmun'na: Judg. 8.12 |
|
|
| 12 |
who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
|
| 13 |
O my God, make them like a wheel;
| |
|
as the stubble before the wind. |
|
|
| 14 |
As the fire burneth a wood,
| |
|
and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; |
|
|
| 15 |
so persecute them with thy tempest,
| |
|
and make them afraid with thy storm. |
|
|
| 16 |
Fill their faces with shame;
| |
|
that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
|
|
| 17 |
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;
| |
|
yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: |
|
|
| 18 |
that men may know that thou,
| |
|
whose name alone is JEHOVAH, |
|
art the Most High over all the earth. |
