Psalms 83:1

Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Do^a not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!

2 For behold, ^aYour enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have¹ lifted up their head.

3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together ^aagainst Your sheltered ones.

4 They have said, “Come, and ^alet us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 For they have consulted together with one¹ consent;
They¹ form a confederacy against You:

6 ^aThe tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

Psalm 83:1-8

Don't you think that rather incongruous that, at the end time, even though there is a confederation of the children of Jordan (of ancient Edom and Moab and Ammon with the great beast power), yet they are NOT under their domination to such an extent that they are not free to act on their own. I think it is very interesting that Petra is in Edom. Edom remember occupied the southern part of the land of Jordan or the modern land of Jordan and "Petra" is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word "Selah"—which was translated there in the book of Job, chapter 39.
