Psalms  


83 : 1 O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.
83 : 2 See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads.
83 : 3 With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
83 : 4 Come, they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more."
83 : 5 With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you-
83 : 6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
83 : 7 Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
83 : 8 Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot. Selah
83 : 9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
83 : 10 who perished at Endor and became like refuse on the ground.
83 : 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83 : 12 who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
83 : 13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
83 : 14 As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
83 : 15 so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
83 : 16 Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O LORD.
83 : 17 May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
83 : 18 Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
