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