83:1  

  • A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Keep not silent, O God; do not be quiet, and do not be still, O God,
  • 83:2  For lo, Your enemies are in an uproar; and those who hate You have lifted up their head.

    83:3  They take crafty counsel against Your people, and plot together against Your hidden ones.

    83:4  They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, so that the name Israel may be remembered no more."

    83:5  For with one heart they have plotted together; they have made a covenant against You—

    83:6  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagrites;

    83:7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the people of Tyre;

    83:8  And Assyria has joined with them; they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

    83:9  Do to them as unto Midian, as unto Sisera, as unto Jabin at the brook Kishon

    83:10  Who perished at En Dor; they became as dung for the earth.

    83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, all their princes like Zebah, and like Zalmunna;

    83:12  Who said, "Let us take for ourselves possession of the pastures of God."

    83:13  O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like the stubble before the wind.

    83:14  As the fire burns a forest, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire,

    83:15  So pursue them with Your tempest, and make them afraid with Your storm.

    83:16  Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

    83:17  Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish;

    83:18  So that men may know that Your name alone is the LORD, that You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
