O God,
do not be silent!
Do not be deaf.
Do not be quiet,
O God.
Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?
Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
They devise crafty schemes against your people;
they conspire against your precious ones.
“Come,”
they say,
“let us wipe out Israel as a nation.
We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
…they will learn that you alone are called the Lord,
that you alone are the Most High,
supreme over all the earth.
Psalm 83:1-4, 18
