83:1 [A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.] O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! 83:2 For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. 83:3 They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. 83:4 They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!" 83:5 For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant-- 83:6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 83:7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; 83:8 Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah 83:9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, 83:10 who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 83:12 who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God." 83:13 O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. 83:14 As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, 83:15 so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane! 83:16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O LORD. 83:17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, 83:18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
