✧1A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God. ✧2For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. ✧3They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. ✧4“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” ✧5For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. ✧6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; ✧7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; ✧8Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. ✧9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

✧14As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
✧15so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
✧16Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
✧17Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
✧18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
