83:1 A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silence;do not hold thy peace or be still, O God! 83:2 For lo, thy enemies are in tumult;those who hate thee have raised their heads. 83:3 They lay crafty plans against thy people;they consult together against thy protected 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 Yea, they conspire with one accord;against thee they make a covenant -- 83:6 the tents of Edom and the Ish'maelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 83:7 Gebal and Ammon and Am'alek, 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 thou didst to Mid'ian, as to Sis'era 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 Zalmun'na, 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 do thou pursue them with thy tempest and terrify them with thy hurricane! 83:16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 83:17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;let them perish in disgrace. 83:18 Let them know that thou alone, whose name is the LORD, art the Most High over all the earth. 83:19
