Psalm 83
A song. A Psalm by Asaph.
[83:1] God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God. [83:2] For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. [83:3] They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. [83:4] "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more." [83:5] For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. [83:6] The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; [83:7] Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; [83:8] Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. [83:9] Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; [83:10] who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth. [83:11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; [83:12] who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands." [83:13] My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind. [83:14] As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire, [83:15] so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm. [83:16] Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh. [83:17] Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish; [83:18] that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
