They lay (A)crafty plans against your people;
    they consult together against your (B)treasured ones.
They say, “Come, (C)let us wipe them out as a nation;
    let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
For they conspire with one accord;
    against you they make a covenant—
the tents of (D)Edom and (E)the Ishmaelites,
    (F)Moab and (G)the Hagrites,
(H)Gebal and (I)Ammon and (J)Amalek,
    (K)Philistia with the inhabitants of (L)Tyre;
(M)Asshur also has joined them;
    they are the strong arm of (N)the children of Lot. Selah

Do to them as you did to (O)Midian,
    as to (P)Sisera and Jabin at (Q)the river Kishon,

    and take our revenge on him.”

Be broken,[a] you peoples, and (A)be shattered;[b]
    give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
    strap on your armor and be shattered.

    for God (C)is with us.[c]

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed

(A)Why do (B)the nations rage[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
