Psalms 83:1-12

1God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be quiet.

2See how your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have acted arrogantly.

3They devise clever schemes against your people; they conspire against your treasured ones.

4They say, “Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”

5For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against you  —

6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

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

8Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot.Selah

9Deal with them as you did with Midian, as you did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

10They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12who said, “Let’s seize God’s pastures for ourselves.”
