Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Doa not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God! 
2 For behold, aYour enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have1 lifted up their head. 
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together aagainst Your sheltered ones. 
4 They have said, “Come, and alet us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” 
5 For they have consulted together with one1 consent;
They1 form a confederacy against You: 
6 aThe tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites; 
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them as with aMidian,
As with bSisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon, 
10 Who perished at En Dor,
aWho became as refuse on the earth. 
11 Make their nobles like aOreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like bZebah and Zalmunna, 
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”
13 aO my God, make them like the whirling dust,
bLike the chaff before the wind! 
14 As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame asets the mountains on fire, 
15 So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be1 confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish, 
18 aThat they may know that You, whose bname alone is the Lord,
Are cthe Most High over all the earth.
