Psalms 83
-
1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. 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.
-
5 For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:
-
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
-
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
-
8 Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. [Selah
-
9 Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
-
10 Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.
-
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
-
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.
-
13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
-
14 As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
-
15 So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.
-
16 Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
-
17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
-
18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
