WMB: Psalms 83

=> Chapters

A song. A Psalm by Asaph.

[1] 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, LORD.

[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 the LORD,

are the Most High over all the earth.
