1. O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2. For behold, your enemies make an uproar;those who hate you have raised their heads.
3. They lay crafty plans against your people;they consult together against your treasured ones.
4. They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5. For they conspire with one accord;against you they make a covenant—
6. the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
7. Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8. Asshur also has joined them;they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
