Psalms 83
God Implored to Confound His Enemies.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
1O God, 1do not remain quiet; 2Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.2For behold, Your enemies 3make an uproar, And 4those who hate You have 56exalted themselves.3They 7make shrewd plans against Your people, And 8conspire together against 9Your 10treasured ones.4They have said, “Come, and 11let us wipe them out 12as a nation, That the 13name of Israel be remembered no more.”5For they have 1415conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:6The tents of 16Edom and the 17Ishmaelites, 18Moab and the 19Hagrites;720Gebal and 21Ammon and 22Amalek, 23Philistia with the inhabitants of 24Tyre;825Assyria also has joined with them; They have become 26a help to the 27children of Lot. 28Selah.
9Deal with them 29as with Midian, As 30with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who 31became as dung for the ground.11Make their nobles like 32Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like 33Zebah and Zalmunna,12Who said, “34Let us possess for ourselves The 35pastures of God.”
13O my God, make them like the 3637whirling dust, Like 38chaff before the wind.14Like 39fire that burns the forest And like a flame that 40sets the mountains on fire,15So pursue them 41with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.1642Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O Lord.17Let them be 43ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,18That they may 44know that 45You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the 46Most High over all the earth.
