| 1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still. | 1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. | 1 [A song; a psalm by Asaph.] O God, do not remain silent. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. Do not keep quiet, O God. | 1 God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God. | 1 {A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O �God: | 2 For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves. | 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. | 2 Look, your enemies are in an uproar. Those who hate you hold their heads high. | 2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. | 2 For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head. | 3 They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones. | 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. | 3 They make plans in secret against your people and plot together against those you treasure. | 3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. | 3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones: | 4 They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more." | 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. | 4 They say, "Let's wipe out their nation so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered." | 4 "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." | 4 They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more. | 5 For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant: | 5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: | 5 They agree completely on their plan. They form an alliance against you: | 5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. | 5 For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
