Psalms 83

A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.

1O 1God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O 2God:2For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.3They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:4They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.5For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;8Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.9Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:10Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.11Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.12For they have said, Let us take to ourselves 3God's dwelling-places in possession.13O my 4God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.14As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,15So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.17Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
