Psalms - Chapter 83
- A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
- For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
- Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
- They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from `being' a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.'
- For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
- Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
- Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
- Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.
- Do to them as `to' Midian, As `to' Sisera, as `to' Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
- They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
- Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
- Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.'
- O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
- As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
- So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
- Fill their faces `with' shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.
- They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
- And they know that Thou -- (Thy name `is' Jehovah -- by Thyself,) `Art' the Most High over all the earth!
