## O God, Do Not Be Quiet 

###### 1
O God, do not remain at rest; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be quiet. 

###### 2
For behold, Your enemies roar, And those who hate You have lifted up their heads. 

###### 3
They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. 

###### 4
They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." 

###### 5
For they have conspired together with one heart; Against You they cut a covenant: 

###### 6
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites; 

###### 7
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 

###### 8
Assyria also has joined with them; They have become the power of the children of Lot. Selah. 

###### 9
Do to them as to Midian, As to Sisera, _and_ Jabin at the river of Kishon, 

###### 10
Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who were as dung for the ground. 

###### 11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 

###### 12
Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God." 

###### 13
O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind. 

###### 14
Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that burns up the mountains, 

###### 15
So pursue them with Your tempest And dismay them with Your storm. 

###### 16
Fill their faces with disgrace, That they may seek Your name, O Yahweh. 

###### 17
Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish, 

###### 18
That they may know that You alone--Your name is Yahweh-- Are the Most High over all the earth.
