2  Keep not Thou silent, O Elohim;

hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O El (G-d).

3  For, hinei, Thine oyevim are in tumult;

and they that hate Thee have lifted up the rosh.

4  They lay out a crafty conspiracy against Amecha (Thy people),

and plot against Tzefunecha (Thy sheltered, protected, hidden ones).

5  They have said: Come,

and let us cut them off from being a goy (nation);

that the shem Yisroel may be no more remembered.

6  For they have plotted together with one lev;

they cut a brit against Thee;

7  The ohalim Edom, and the Yishm'elim;

of Moav, and the Hagerim;

8  Geval, and Ammon, and Amalek;

Peleshet (Philistia) with the inhabitants of Tzor;

9  Assyria also is joined with them;

they are the zero'a (strong arm) of the Bnei Lot.

10  Do unto them as unto Midyan;

as to Sisra, as to Yavin, at the Wadi Kishon;*See Judg 4—8

11  Which became shmad at Ein-Dor;

they became like domen (dung, fertilizer) for ha'adamah.

12  Make their nobles like Orev, and like Ze'ev;

yes, all their princes like Zevach, and like Tzalmunna;

13  Who said, Let us take possession for ourselves

of the pasturelands of Elohim.

14  O Elohai, make them like galgal (tumbleweed);

like chaff before the ruach (wind).

15  As the eish consumeth the forest,

and as the flame setteth ablaze harim;

16  So pursue them with Thy sa'ar (tempest, storm),

and make them afraid with Thy storm.

17  Fill their faces with shame;

that they may seek Shimcha, Hashem.

18  Let them be put to shame and dismayed adei ad (forever);

yes, let them perish in disgrace;

19  Let them have da'as that Thou alone, Shimcha Hashem,

art Elyon al kol HaAretz.
