1O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! (Ps 28,1)2For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. (Sdz 8,28; Ps 2,1)3They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. (Neh 4,8; Ps 27,5; Ps 31,20)4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” (Est 3,6; Ps 74,8; Jer 48,2)5For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, (Rdz 25,12; 1 Krn 5,10; 2 Krn 20,10; Ps 137,7)7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; (Joz 13,5; 1 Sm 4,1; 1 Sm 15,2; Ps 6,1; Ez 27,3; Am 1,6; Am 1,9)8Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah (Pwt 2,9; Pwt 2,19; 2 Krl 15,19)9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, (Lb 31,7; Sdz 4,7; Sdz 4,15; Sdz 4,24; Sdz 5,21; Iz 9,4)10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. (Joz 17,11; 1 Sm 28,7; Job 20,7)11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, (Sdz 7,25; Sdz 8,3; Sdz 8,5)12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.” (2 Krn 20,11)13O my God, make them like whirling dust,[1] like chaff before the wind. (Job 13,25; Job 21,18; Ps 1,4; Iz 17,13)14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, (Pwt 32,22; Iz 9,18)15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane! (Job 9,17)16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O LORD. (Job 10,15; Ps 35,4; Ps 35,26)17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, (Ps 35,4)18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth. (Wj 6,3; Ps 9,2; Ps 18,13; Ps 59,13; Ps 97,9)
