Read the chapter

1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. ✦ 2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. ✦ 3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. ✦ 4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. ✦ 5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: ✦ 6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; ✦ 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; ✦ 8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. ✦ 9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: ✦ 10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. ✦ 11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: ✦ 12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. ✦ 13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. ✦ 14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; ✦ 15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. ✦ 16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. ✦ 17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: ✦ 18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
