83:1  O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.

83:2  For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.

83:3  They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.

83:4  They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more."

83:5  For they have conspired together with one mind; 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 with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.

83:9  Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera {and} Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,

83:10  Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.

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

83:12  Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God."

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

83:14  Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

83:15  So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.

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

83:17  Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,

83:18  That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
