O God, Be Not Silent
A song. A Psalm of Asaph.
O God, be not silent; be not speechless;83:1 Or deaf
be not still, O God.Psa 109:1
See how Your enemies rage,
how Your foes have reared their heads.
With cunning they scheme against Your people
and conspire against those You cherish,Mat 26:4
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation;
may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”Jer 11:19; Act 14:5
For with one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against You—
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
of Philistia with the people of Tyre.Ezk 27:9
Even Assyria has joined them,
lending strength to the sons of Lot.
SelahGen 19:37
Do to them as You did to Midian,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,Jdg 4:15
who perished at Endor
and became like dung on the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,Jdg 7:25; Jdg 8:12; Jdg 8:21
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
the pastures of God.”
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God,
like chaff before the wind.Isa 17:13; Psa 1:4
As fire consumes a forest,
as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
so pursue them with Your tempest,
and terrify them with Your storm.
Cover their faces with shame,
that they may seek Your name, O LORD.Psa 70:2
May they be ever ashamed and terrified;
may they perish in disgrace.
May they know that You alone,
whose name is the LORD,
