\d A psalm which is a song written by Asaph
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 God, do not continue to be silent!
|
|
\q1 Do not be quiet and say nothing
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 because your enemies are rioting against you;
|
|
\q2 those who hate you are rebelling against you!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 They are secretly planning to do things to harm us, your people;
|
|
\q2 they are conspiring together against the people whom you protect.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 They say, "Come, we must destroy their nation
|
|
\q2 so that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!"
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 They have agreed on what they want to do to destroy Israel,
|
|
\q2 and they have agreed to attack you together.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Your enemies are the people who live in the tents of Edom—
|
|
\q2 the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, they conspire together with
|
|
\v 7 the people of Gebal, and the Ammonites, and the Amalekites,
|
|
\q2 and the Philistines, and the people of the city of Tyre.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 8 The people of Assyria have joined them;
|
|
\q2 they are strong allies of the Moab and Ammon people groups, who are descendants of Abraham's nephew Lot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 God, do to those people things as you did to the Midian people group,
|
|
\q2 as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 You destroyed them at the town of Endor,
|
|
\q2 and their corpses lay on the ground and decayed.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Do to them things like you did to kings Oreb and Zeeb;
|
|
\q2 defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 12 who said, "We will take for ourselves the land that the Israelites say belongs to God!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 My God, cause them to disappear quickly like whirling dust,
|
|
\q2 like chaff that the wind blows away!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 As a fire completely burns a forest
|
|
\q1 and as flames burn in the mountains,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 expel them with your storms
|
|
\q2 and cause them to be terrified by your big storms!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Cause them to be very ashamed
|
|
\q2 so that they will admit that you are very powerful.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Cause them to be forever disgraced because of being defeated,
|
|
\q1 and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh,
|
|
\q2 are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
