1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;
3 They take crafty counsel against thy people,
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
5 For they have consulted together with one consent;
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
8 Assyria also is joined with them;
9 Do thou unto them as unto Midian,
10 Who perished at Endor,
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession
13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust;
14 As the fire that burneth the forest,
15 So pursue them with thy tempest,
16 Fill their faces with confusion,
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;
18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,
