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, 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.
