83:1 A
Song,
--A
Psalm
of
Asaph.
O
God,
let
there
be
no
silence
to
Thee,
Be
not
silent,
nor
be
quiet,
O
God.
83:2 For,
lo,
Thine
enemies
do
roar,
And
those
hating
Thee
have
lifted
up
the
head,
83:3 Against
Thy
people
they
take
crafty
counsel,
And
consult
against
Thy
hidden
ones.
83:4 They
have
said,
`Come,
And
we
cut
them
off
from
[being]
a
nation,
And
the
name
of
Israel
is
not
remembered
any
more.'
83:5 For
they
consulted
in
heart
together,
Against
Thee
a
covenant
they
make,
83:6 Tents
of
Edom,
and
Ishmaelites,
Moab,
and
the
Hagarenes,
83:7 Gebal,
and
Ammon,
and
Amalek,
Philistia
with
inhabitants
of
Tyre,
83:8 Asshur
also
is
joined
with
them,
They
have
been
an
arm
to
sons
of
Lot.
Selah.
83:9 Do
to
them
as
[to]
Midian,
As
[to]
Sisera,
as
[to]
Jabin,
at
the
stream
Kishon.
83:10 They
were
destroyed
at
Endor,
They
were
dung
for
the
ground!
83:11 Make
their
nobles
as
Oreb
and
as
Zeeb,
And
as
Zebah
and
Zalmunna
all
their
princes,
83:12 Who
have
said,
`Let
us
occupy
for
ourselves
The
comely
places
of
God.'
83:13 O
my
God,
make
them
as
a
rolling
thing,
As
stubble
before
wind.
83:14 As
a
fire
doth
burn
a
forest,
And
as
a
flame
setteth
hills
on
fire,
83:15 So
dost
Thou
pursue
them
with
Thy
whirlwind,
And
with
Thy
hurricane
troublest
them.
83:16 Fill
their
faces
[with]
shame,
And
they
seek
Thy
name,
O
Jehovah.
83:17 They
are
ashamed
and
troubled
for
ever,
Yea,
they
are
confounded
and
lost.
83:18 And
they
know
that
Thou--(Thy
name
[is]
Jehovah--by
Thyself,)
[Art]
the
Most
High
over
all
the
earth!
