1 Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Do Ps. 28:1 not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!
2 For behold, Ps. 81:15; Is. 17:12; Acts 4:25 Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together (Ps. 27:5) against Your sheltered ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and Esth. 3:6, 9; Jer. 11:19; 31:36 let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You:
6 2 Chr. 20:1, 10, 11 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them as with Num. 31:7; Judg. 7:22 Midian, As with Judg. 4:15–24; 5:20, 21 Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 Who perished at En Dor, Zeph. 1:17 Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Judg. 7:25 Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Judg. 8:12–21 Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”
13 Is. 17:13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Job 21:18; Ps. 35:5; Is. 40:24; Jer. 13:24 Like the chaff before the wind!
14 As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame Ex. 19:18; Deut. 32:22 sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O Lord .
17 Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 Ps. 59:13 That they may know that You, whose Ex. 6:3 name alone is the Lord , Are (Ps. 92:8) the Most High over all the earth.
