Paul LewisK eepnotthousilence,OGod:hold notthypeace,andbenotstill,O God.For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty coun-selagainstthypeople,andconsulted against thy hidden ones.Theyhavesaid,Come,andletus cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.Fortheyhaveconsulted together with one consent: they are con-federate against thee:ThetabernaclesofEdom,and theIshmaelites;ofMoab,andthe Hagarenes;Gebal,andAmmon,and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabit-ants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princesasZebah,andasZalmunna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; So perse-cute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. Let them beconfoundedandtroubledforever; yea,letthembeputtoshame,and perish:That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
