2. O God, who shall be like to thee? hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
3. For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
4. They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, and have consulted against thy saints.
5. They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
