Psalms Chapter 83

1aA Song. A Psalm of Asaph.

1bO God, do not be silent.

Do not be quiet,

And do not be still,

O God.

2For look,

Your enemies are in a commotion,

And those who hate you

Have raised their head.

3They are being crafty in their counsel against your people,

And they are plotting

Against those treasured up by you.

4They have said,

“Come, let us obliterate them

So that they aren't a people,

And the name of Israel is no longer remembered.”

5For they have deliberated unanimously;

They have made a covenant against you

6– The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

Moab and the Hagrites,

7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

8Assyria has also joined up with them;

They have become an arm to the sons of Lot.

Selah.

9Do to them as with Midian

– As to Sisera, as to Jabin,

At the Brook of Kishon.

10They were destroyed in En-Dor;

They became dung for the ground.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,

And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12Who said,

“Let us take possession of God's dwellings for ourselves.”

13O God of mine, make them like chaff

– Like straw residue before the wind;

14Like fire that burns a forest

And like a flame that sets mountains on fire.

15So you will pursue them with your tempest

And terrify them with your whirlwind.

16Fill their faces with dishonour,

And let them seek your name, O Lord.

17Let them be ashamed and terrified in all perpetuity,

And be disgraced and perish.

18And they will know that you

– Only your name is the Lord –

Are the Most High over all the earth.
