1. Keep not, O God, we thee entreat,O keep not silence now:Do thou not hold thy peace, O God,and still no more be thou.
2. For, lo, thine enemies a noisetumultuously have made;And they that haters are of theehave lifted up the head.
3. Against thy chosen people theydo crafty counsel take;And they against thy hidden onesdo consultations make.
4. Come, let us cut them off, said they,from being a nation,That of the name of Isr'el mayno more be mention.
