Psalms 83

1 A song, or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.⋮

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

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.⋮

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.⋮

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee,⋮

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;⋮

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;⋮

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.⋮

9 Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:⋮

10 Who perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth.⋮

11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yes, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:⋮

12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.⋮

13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.⋮

14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;⋮

15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.⋮

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

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yes, let them be put to shame, and perish:⋮

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.⋮
