CHAPTER 83

A Song.

A Psalm

of Asaph.

O God,

do not

keep silent;

do not

hold Your peace;

do not

be still,

O God.

See

how

Your enemies

rage,

how your foes

have reared

their heads.

With cunning

they scheme

against

Your people

and conspire

against

those You cherish,

saying,

“Come,

let us erase them

as a nation;

may the name

of Israel

be remembered

no

more.”

For

with one mind

they plot

together,

they form

an alliance

against You—

the tents

of Edom

and the Ishmaelites,

of Moab

and the Hagrites,

Gebal,

Ammon,

and Amalek,

Philistia

with

the people

of Tyre.

Even

Assyria

has joined

them,

lending

strength

to the sons

of Lot.

Selah

Do

to them

as You did to Midian,

as to Sisera

and Jabin

at the River

Kishon,

who perished

at Endor

and became

like dung

on the ground.

Make

their nobles

like Oreb

and Zeeb,

and all

their princes

like Zebah

and Zalmunna,

who

said,

“Let us possess

for ourselves

the pastures

of God.”

Make

them like tumbleweed,

O my God,

like chaff

before

the wind.

As fire

consumes

a forest,

as a flame

sets

the mountains ablaze,

so

pursue them

with Your tempest,

and terrify them

with Your storm.

Cover

their faces

with shame,

that they may seek

Your name,

O LORD.

May they be ever ashamed

and terrified;

may they perish

in disgrace.

May they know

that

You

alone,

whose name

is the LORD,

are Most High

over

all

the earth.
