A Song or Psalm of Asaph.

A plea against the confederacy of nations

אֱלֹהִים אַל-דֳּמִי-לָךְ אַל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל-תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃
1
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
כִּֽי-הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃
2
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
עַֽל-עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל-צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃
3
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא-יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם-יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃
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.
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃
5
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
אָהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽים׃
6
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם-יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃
7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
גַּם-אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי-לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃
8
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
עֲשֵֽׂה-לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִֽיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃
9
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין-דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹּמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃
10
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כָּל-נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃
11
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירֲשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃
12
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי-רֽוּחַ׃
13
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר-יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃
14
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃
15
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִֽיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהוָֽה׃
16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי-עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃
17
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי-אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל-כָּל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
18
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
