A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us and remain unmoved, God.

5 Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter: simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt,
They have schemed together with one strategy; against you they have made an alliance.
6 tabernacula Idumaeorum et Ismahelitae: Moab, et Agareni,

7 Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec: alienigenae cum habitantibus Tyrum.
Gebal, Ammon, Amalek; it also includes Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adiutorium filiis Lot.
Assyria also is allied with them; they are helping the descendants of Lot. (Selah)

My God, make them like the whirling dust, like chaff before the wind,
14 Sicut ignis, qui comburit silvam: et sicut flamma comburens montes:
like the fire that burns the forest, and like the flame that sets the mountains on fire.
15 Ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua: et in ira tua turbabis eos.
Chase them with your strong wind, and terrify them with your windstorm.
16 Imple facies eorum ignominia: et quaerent nomen tuum, Domine.
Fill their faces with shame so that they might seek your name, Yahweh.

May they be put to shame and be terrified forever; may they perish in disgrace.
18 Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.
Then they will know that you alone, Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
