Psalms 83

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

1O God, keep not thou silence: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3Theytakeנָ֣שְׂאוּNa.se.'uH5375crafty counselagainstH8130thy people, and consult togetheragainstH8130thy hidden ones.

4They have said, Come, and letusH5921cut themoffH5921from being anationH5971; that the name ofIsraelH5971may be nomoreH5921in remembrance.

5For they have consulted together with one consent;againstH2142thee do theymakeH2142a covenant:

6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

8Assyria also is joined with them; they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah

9Do thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon:

10Which perished at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

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

15So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy storm.

16Fill their faces with confusion; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17Let them be ashamed and dismayed for ever; yea, let them be confounded and perish:
