Be not thou silent now at lengthA
O God hold not thy peaceB
Sit not thou still O God of strengthA
We cry and do not ceaseB
For lo thy furious foes now swellC
And storm outrageously JehemajunD
And they that hate thee proud and fillE
Exalt their heads full hieF
Against thy people they contrive JagnarimuG
Their Plots and Counsels deep SodH
Them to ensnare they chiefly strive Jithjagnatsu gnalE
Whom thou dost hide and keep TsephunecaI
Come let us cut them off say theyJ
Till they no Nation beK
That Israels name for ever mayJ
Be lost in memoryK
For they consult with all their might Lev jachdauH
And all as one in mindH
Themselves against thee they uniteH
And in firm union bindH
The tents of Edom and the broodH
Of scornful IshmaelE
Moab with them of Hagars bloodH
That in the Desart dwellE
Gebal and Ammon there conspireL
And hateful AmalecI
The Philistims and they of TyreM
Whose bounds the sea doth checkI
With them great Asshur also bandsN
And doth confirm the knotH
All these have lent their armed handsN
To aid the Sons of LotH
Do to them as to Midian boldH
That wasted all the CoastH
To Sisera and as is toldH
Thou didst to Jabins hoastH
When at the brook of Kishon oldH
They were repulst and slainD
At Endor quite cut off and rowl'dH
As dung upon the plainD
As Zeb and Oreb evil spedH
So let their Princes speedH
As Zeba and Zalmunna bledH
So let their Princes bleedH
For they amidst their pride have saidH
By right now shall we seizeO
Gods houses and will now invadeH
Their stately Palaces Neoth Elohim bears bothP
My God oh make them as a wheelE
No quiet let them findH
Giddy and restless let them reelE
Like stubble from the windH
As when an aged wood takes fireL
Which on a sudden straiesO
The greedy flame runs hier and hierL
Till all the mountains blazeO
So with thy whirlwind them pursueO
And with thy tempest chaseO
And till they yield thee honour due They seek thyQ
Lord fill with shame their face Name HebK
Asham'd and troubl'd let them beK
Troubl'd and sham'd for everL
Ever confounded and so dieQ
With shame and scape it neverL
Then shall they know that thou whose nameG
Jehova is aloneD
Art the most high and thou the sameG
O're all the earth art oneD
