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! 83:19 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' -- A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
