A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Lūgšana pēc palīga pret Dieva tautas naidniekiem
1 Dziesma. Āsāfa psalms .
2 Dievs, neciet klusu! Neesi mēms,
jel neklusē, Dievs!
3 Jo, redzi, tavi naidnieki ņurd,
tie, kas nīst tevi, jau ceļ galvu,
4 pret tavu tautu tie viltu kaļ
un padomu lolo pret tiem, ko tu sargi,
5 tie saka: ejam, izdeldam
viņus starp tautām,
lai Israēla vārdu nepiemin vairs! –
6 Jau tie padomu meklē kopā,
pret tevi tie derību slēdz –
7 Edoma teltis un ismaēlieši,
Moābs un hagrieši,
8 Gebala, Amona un Amālēks,
Filistija un tie, kas mīt Tīrā,
9 un Asīrija kopā ar tiem –
tie visi nu – Lata dēlu stiprums!
10 Dari tiem kā Midjānam, kā Sīsram,
kā Jābīnam pie Kīšonas strauta,
11 kā tiem, kas iznīcināti pie Ēn-Doras
un tapuši zemei par mēsliem!
12 Dari tiem – to augstmaņiem –
kā Orēbam un Zeēvam,
visiem to dižvīriem – kā Zebaham un Calmunnam!
13 Tie teica: kaut mēs mantotu ko
no Dieva ganībām! –
14 Mans Dievs, dari tos
kā putekļu vērpeti, kā pelavas vējā!
15 Kā uguns aizdedzina mežu
un kā liesma iesveļ kalnus,
16 tā vajā tu tos ar savu vētru
un ar savu viesuli tos izbiedē!
17 Klāj viņu sejas ar negodu –
ka tie sāk meklēt tavu vārdu, Kungs!
18 Lai kauns tiem un paļas
uz laiku laikiem,
lai tiem misējas, lai tie iet bojā,
19 lai zina, ka tu, kam vārds – Kungs,
tu viens – Visuaugstais pār visu zemi!
