Psalms.
|
||
Chapter 83.
|
||
A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
|
||
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
|
||
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
|
||
“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
|
||
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
|
||
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
|
||
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
|
||
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
|
||
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
|
||
who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
|
||
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
||
who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”
|
||
My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
|
||
As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
|
||
so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
|
||
Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.
|
||
Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
|
||
that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
