⁴They have said, “Come, and let’s wipe them out as a nation, So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”

⁵For they have conspired together with one mind; They make a covenant against You:

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

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

⁸Assyria also has joined them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah

⁹Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon,

¹⁰Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became like dung for the ground.

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

¹²Who said, “Let’s possess for ourselves The pastures of God.”

¹³My God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.

¹⁴Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

¹⁵So pursue them with Your heavy gale, And terrify them with Your storm.

¹⁶Fill their faces with dishonor, So that they will seek Your name, LORD.

¹⁷May they be ashamed and dismayed forever, And may they be humiliated and perish,

¹⁸So that they will know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

¹How lovely are Your dwelling places, LORD of armies!

²My soul longed and even yearned for the courtyards of the LORD; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

⁸LORD God of armies, hear my prayer; Listen, God of Jacob! Selah

⁹See our shield, God, And look at the face of Your anointed.

¹⁰For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than live in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

¹²LORD of armies, Blessed is the person who trusts in You!
