Douay-Rheims Bible

1 O God, do not remain silent;

do not turn a deaf ear,

do not stand aloof, O God.

2 See how your enemies growl,

how your foes rear their heads.

3 With cunning they conspire against your people;

they plot against those you cherish.

4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,

so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

1 O God, do not keep silence;

do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

2 For behold, your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate you have raised their heads.

3 They lay crafty plans against your people;

they consult together against your treasured ones.

4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;

let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”

1 Keep not thou silence, O God:

Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:

And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,

And consulted against thy hidden ones.

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.

1 O God, do not be silent!

Do not be deaf.

Do not be quiet, O God.

2 Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?

Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?

3 They devise crafty schemes against your people;

they conspire against your precious ones.

4 “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation.

We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”

1 Do not keep silent, O God!

Do not hold Your peace,

And do not be still, O God!

2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;

And those who hate You have lifted up their head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,

And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.

4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,

That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

1 God, do not keep quiet;

God, do not be silent or still.

2 Your enemies are making noises;

those who hate you are getting ready to attack.

3 They are making secret plans against your people;

they plot against those you love.

4 They say, “Come, let’s destroy them as a nation.

Then no one will ever remember the name ‘Israel.’ ”

1 O God, keep not thou silence:

Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;

And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They take crafty counsel against thy people,

And consult together against thy hidden ones.

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.

1 O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O •God: 2 For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head. 3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones: 4 They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

1 O God, do not remain silent. 

Do not turn a deaf ear to me. 

Do not keep quiet, O God. 

2 Look, your enemies are in an uproar. 

Those who hate you hold their heads high. 

3 They make plans in secret against your people 

and plot together against those you treasure. 

4 They say, “Let’s wipe out their nation 

so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.” 

1 God, do not keep silent.

Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle.

2 See how Your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

3 They devise clever schemes against Your people;

they conspire against Your treasured ones.

4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation

so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”

1 O God, do not keep silent;

do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

2 Even now your enemies are in tumult;

those who hate you have raised their heads.

3 They lay crafty plans against your people;

they consult together against those you protect.

4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;

let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

1 O God, do not rest silently.

Do not keep silent or be still, O God.

2 For look, your enemies roar,

and those who hate you have lifted their head.

3 They devise cunning schemes against your people,

and consult together against your protected ones.

4 They say, “Come, let us annihilate them from being a nation,

so that the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

1 God, don’t keep silent.

God, don’t keep quiet. Don’t be still.

2 See how your enemies are getting ready for action.

See how they are rising up against you.

3 They make clever plans against your people.

They make evil plans against those you love.

4 “Come,” they say. “Let’s destroy that whole nation.

Then the name of Israel won’t be remembered anymore.”

1 O God, do not remain quiet;

Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

2 For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,

And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

3 They make shrewd plans against Your people,

And conspire together against Your treasured ones.

4 They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,

That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
