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. |
