Psalms
83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O
God.
83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have
lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against
thy hidden ones.
83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that
the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate
against thee:
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of
Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot.
Selah.
83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the
brook of Kison:
83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as
Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on
fire;
83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to
shame, and perish:
83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most
high over all the earth.
