ESVEnglish Standard Version

O God, do not keep silence;

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

For behold, your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate you have raised their heads.

They lay crafty plans against your people;

they consult together against your treasured ones.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

O God, do not remain silent;

do not turn a deaf ear,

do not stand aloof, O God.

See how your enemies growl,

how your foes rear their heads.

With cunning they conspire against your people;

they plot against those you cherish.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

God, do not keep silent.

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

See how your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate you have acted arrogantly.

They devise clever schemes against your people;

they conspire against your treasured ones.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

O God, do not rest silently.

Do not keep silent or be still, O God.

For look, your enemies roar,

and those who hate you have lifted their head.

They devise cunning schemes against your people,

and consult together against your protected ones.
