1En sang af Asaf.2Åh, Gud, sid ikke bare dér, vær ikke så passiv og tavs!3Hør, hvor dine fjender larmer. Se, hvor dine modstandere knejser.4De lægger snedige planer mod dit folk, udtænker ondt mod dem, du holder af.5„Lad os udslette hele folket,” siger de, „så Israel forsvinder totalt.”6De enes om en plan og slutter pagt imod dig,7beduiner fra Edom og Moab, ishmaelitter sammen med hagritter,8geballitter, ammonitter og amalekitter, filistre og folk fra Tyrus.9Selv Assyrien har sluttet sig til dem, de støtter nu Lots efterkommere.10Gør med dem, som du gjorde med midjanitterne. Du slog jo Sisera og Jabin ved Kishonfloden,*11de blev tilintetgjort ved En-Dor, deres kroppe rådnede på slagmarken.12Lad det gå deres ledere som Oreb og Ze’eb, deres fyrster som Zeba og Zalmunna.13De sagde: „Lad os erobre Guds græsgange og gøre dem til vores!”14Min Gud, lad dem blive som visne tidsler, som avner, der flyver bort i vinden.15Som ild, der æder sig gennem skoven, som flammer, der sætter bjerge i brand,16skal dit stormvejr forfølge dem, din hvirvelvind forfærde dem.17Lad dem blive ydmyget så dybt, at de forstår, hvem du er, Herre.18Gør dem skamfulde og skrækslagne, lad dem få en frygtelig død.19Vis dem, at du er Herren, den Almægtige, som hersker over hele jorden.

O God, Do Not Keep Silence
1A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!2For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads.3They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones.4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”5For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;8Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot.9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”13O my God, make them like whirling dust,* like chaff before the wind.14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord.17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
