1O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
1Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core.
2See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
2How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!
3With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
3My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.
4saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
4For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
5For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
5Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
6Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,
7of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
7In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.

8For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

9O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob.
10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
10Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
11For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
12For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.
13Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
13He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
14As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
