1. O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God.
2. See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
3. With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
4. “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
5. With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you—
6. the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7. Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
8. Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.
