Hear Us, Shepherd (80)

O `God, do / not keep silent. 

Do `not keep silent, and do not be / still, O God.

`For, behold, your enemies are / stirred~ up.

`Those who hate you have_ lifted / up their heads.

`They conspire with cunning a_ / gainst your people.

They `plot against your / cherished ones.

`“Come,” they say, “let us destroy them / as a nation,

`that the name of Israel may be remembered / no~ more.”

(Ref)

`For they have conspired together / with one mind.

`They form an alliance / against you.

The `tents of Edom and the Ishma / el~ ites;

`Moab, and the / Hag~ rites;

`Gebal, Ammon, and_ / Amalek;

Phil `istia_ with the people / of~ Tyre;

As `syria also is / joined with them.

`They have helped the children / of~ Lot.

Selah.

`Do to them_ as you did to / Midian,

as `to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river / Kish~ on;

who `perished at_ / En~ dor,

`who became as dung_ / for the earth.

(Ref)

`Make their nobles like_ Oreb / and~ Zeeb,

`all their princes like Zebah and / Zalmunna,

`who said, “Let us / take possession 

`of the pasture / lands of God.”

My `God, make them like / tumbleweed,

like `chaff be / fore the wind.

`As the fire that / burns the forest,

`as the flame that sets the mountains / a~ blaze,

`so pursue them / with your tempest,

and `terrify them / with your storm.

`Fill their faces / with confusion,

that `they may seek your / name~, LORD.

(Ref)

Let `them be put to shame_ and dis / mayed forever.

`Let them perish / in disgrace;

that `they may know that you alone, whose name_ / is the LORD,

`are the Most High over / all the earth.
