O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
|
2
|
For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
|
3
|
They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
|
4
|
They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
|
5
|
For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,
|
6
|
The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ishmahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,
|
7
|
Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
|
8
|
Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.
|
9
|
Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.
|
10
|
Who perished at Endor: and became as dung for the earth.
|
11
|
Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, and Zebee, and Salmana. All their princes,
|
12
|
Who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.
|
13
|
O my God, make them like a wheel; and as stubble before the wind.
|
14
|
As fire which burneth the wood: and as a flame burning mountains:
|
15
|
So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.
|
16
|
Fill their faces with shame; and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.
|
17
|
Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: and let them be confounded and perish.
|
18
|
And let them know that the Lord is thy name: thou alone art the most High over all the earth.
