Psalms 83:9-18

9Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,

10who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.

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

12who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God."

13O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.

14As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,

15so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!

16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord.

17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,

18that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
