Psalms 83:9-18

9Deal with them 1as with Midian, As 2with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,10Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who 3became as dung for the ground.11Make their nobles like 4Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like 5Zebah and Zalmunna,12Who said, “6Let us possess for ourselves The 7pastures of God.”

13O my God, make them like the 8 9whirling dust, Like 10chaff before the wind.14Like 11fire that burns the forest And like a flame that 12sets the mountains on fire,15So pursue them 13with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.16 14Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O Lord.17Let them be 15ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,18That they may 16know that 17You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the 18Most High over all the earth.
