1. God, don’t be silent!Don’t be quiet or sit still, God,
2. because—look!—your enemies are growling;those who hate you are acting arrogantly.
3. They concoct crafty plans against your own people;they plot against the people you favor.
4. "Come on," they say, "let’s wipe them out as a nation!Let the name Israel be remembered no more!"
5. They plot with a single-minded heart;they make a covenant against you.
6. They are the clans of Edom and the Ishmaelites,Moab and the Hagrites,
7. Gebal, Ammon, Amalek,Philistia along with the citizens of Tyre.
