3. For look, Your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate You lift up their head.
4. They make a shrewd plot against Your people, conspiring against Your treasured ones.
5. “Come,” they say, “let’s wipe them out as a nation! Let Israel’s name be remembered no more!”
6. For with one mind they plot together. Against You do they make a covenant.
7. The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

10. Do to them as You did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River,

13. who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”
