83:1 A song, [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God:
hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2 For lo, thy enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
consulted against thy hidden ones.
83:4 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.
83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee,
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and
the Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the
children of Lot. Selah.
83:9 Do to them as [to] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as [to]
Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
83:10 [Who] perished at En-dor: they became [as] dung for the
earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yes, all their
princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession.
83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before
the wind.
83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the
mountains on fire;
83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid
with thy storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name,
O LORD.
83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yes, let
them be put to shame, and perish:
83:18 That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]
JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.
