Psalms

¹A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. ↗

²O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God. ↗

³For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head. ↗

⁴They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones. ↗

⁵They have said, ”Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.“ ↗

⁶For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant: ↗

⁷the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites, ↗

⁸and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre. ↗

⁹For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot. ↗

¹⁰Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon. ↗

¹¹They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth. ↗

¹²Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders ↗

¹³who said, ”Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.“ ↗

¹⁴My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind. ↗

¹⁵Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains. ↗

¹⁶So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath. ↗

¹⁷Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord. ↗

¹⁸Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish. ↗

¹⁹And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth. ↗
