1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace , and be not still , O God.
|
1 O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.
|
|
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult : and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
|
2 See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads.
|
|
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones .
|
3 With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
|
|
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 .
|
4 "Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more."
|
|
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
|
5 With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you--
|
|
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
|
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
|
|
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
|
7 Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
|
|
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
|
8 Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot. "Selah"
|
|
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
|
9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
|
|
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
|
10 who perished at Endor and became like refuse on the ground.
|
|
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
|
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
|
12 Who said , Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession .
|
12 who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
|
|
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
|
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
|
|
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire ;
|
14 As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
|
|
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
|
15 so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
|
|
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
|
16 Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O LORD.
|
|
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame , and perish :
|
17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
|
|
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
|
18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
