83:1 O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! 83:2 Even now your enemies are in tumult; those who hate you have raised their heads. 83:3 They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against those you protect. 83:4 They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more." 83:5 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 Assyria 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 Wadi 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 the pastures of God for our own possession." 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 pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane. 83:16 Fill their faces with shame, so 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 Let them know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth. 83:19
