A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, please do not stay silent! You can't remain unmoved! God, you must not keep quiet!

Can't you hear the roars of your enemies? Can't you see how those who hate you are defiantly lifting up their heads?

They invent cunning plans to conspire against your people; they plot against those you treasure.

They say, “Come on! Let's destroy them as a nation so the name ‘Israel’ will be completely forgotten.”

the people of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagirites;
7 Gebal kaminawk, Ammon kaminawk hoi Amelek kaminawk, Philistia kaminawk hoi Tura vangpui kaminawk;
the people of Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Assyria kaminawk doeh nihcae khaeah athum o; nihcae mah Lot ih caanawk to abomh.
Assyria too has joined them, allied with the descendants of Lot. (Selah)

Do to them what you did to Midian, what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

They were destroyed at Endor and became like manure to fertilize the ground.
11 Nihcae ih kalen kaminawk to Oreb hoi Zeeb baktiah sah ah; ue, angmacae angraeng ih caanawk to Zebah hoi Zalmunna baktiah omsak ah,
Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb; all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,

for they said, “Let's take the pastures of God for ourselves!”
13 Aw ka Sithaw, nihcae to takhi mah pahae ih anghnoeng baktiah omsak ah loe, takhi mah hmuh ih tavai baktiah angcoengsak ah.
My God, make them like whirling tumbleweeds, chaff blown away by the wind.
14 Hmai mah kangh ih thing baktih, hmai mah maenawk kangh naah kangqong hmaipalai baktiah omsak ah,
Just like fire that burns the forest, a flame that sets fire to the mountains,
15 takhi sae hoiah nihcae to patom ah loe, nangmah ih takhipui hoiah nihcae to pazih ah.
in the same way chase them down with your storm, terrify them with your whirlwind.
16 Aw Angraeng, nihcae mah na hmin pakrong o thai hanah, nihcae ih mikhmainawk to azathaih hoiah koisak ah.
Shame them in defeat so that they come to you, Lord!
17 Nihcae azat o nasoe loe, raihaih tong o poe nasoe; ue, nihcae loe azat o nasoe loe, anghma o poe nasoe.
Make them ashamed, terrify them forever so that they die in disgrace.
18 JEHOVAH, tiah ahmin maeto khue kaom Nang loe long nui boih ah na Sang koek, tiah kaminawk mah panoek o nasoe.
Let them understand that you alone, called the Lord, are the Most High who rules over all the earth.
