1 A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence  to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
         
                                
                        2 For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have  lifted up the head,
         
                                
                        3 Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult  against Thy hidden ones.
         
                                
                        4 They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from [being] a  nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.`
         
                                
                        5 For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a  covenant they make,
         
                                
                        6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
         
                                
                        7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of  Tyre,
