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. |
