Ps-83
← Psalms 82 | Psalms | Psalms 84 →
v1
O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
v2
For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads.
v3
They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones.
v4
They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!“
v5
For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—
v6
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
v7
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
v8
Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
v9
Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
v10
who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.
v11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
v12
who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”
v13
O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.
v14
As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
v15
so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!
v16
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O LORD.
v17
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,
v18
that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
