83:1 O God, do not remain quiet; Do not remain silent and, O God, do not remain 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 have no remembrance anymore." |
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 suffered destruction 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 feel shame and dismay forever, And let them feel humiliation and perish, |
83:18 That they may know that You alone, whose we acknowledge as the LORD, and regard as the Most High over all the earth. |
