Psalms 83:1-8

1O God, do not be silent! Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God!

2For look, your enemies are making a commotion; those who hate you are hostile.

3They carefully plot against your people, and make plans to harm the ones you cherish.

4They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

5Yes, they devise a unified strategy; they form an alliance against you.

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

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

8Even Assyria has allied with them, lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)
