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.
