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