Psalm 83
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not
still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine 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 holpen the children of
Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin,
at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, 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; yea, 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.
