The Nations' Conspiracy and the LORD Most High Over All the Earth
The psalm moves from a plea that God not be silent, to the enemy uproar and conspiracy against His treasured people, to the naming of a broad hostile coalition, to historical appeals for God to repeat His saving judgments, to storm-and-fire imagery of enemy overthrow, and finally to the ultimate purpose that the LORD's name be sought and known as supreme over all the earth.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
A song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
