1. Do not keep silence, O God; do not hold thy peace, and do not be still, O God.
2. For, behold, thine enemies make a tumult, and those that hate thee have lifted up their head.
3. They have taken prudent counsel in secret against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4. They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a people that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
