| Chapter 83 |
1 | A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not thou silence: 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 | Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together 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; Against thee do they make a covenant: |
6 | The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
7 | Gebal, and 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 thou unto them as unto 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; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; |
12 | Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God. |
13 | O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind. |
14 | As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire, |
15 | So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm. |
16 | Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. |
17 | Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish; |
18 | That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. |
