Psalms 83 [Commentary] [Map]
|
1. |
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
|
2. |
For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.
|
3. |
They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.
|
4. |
They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more."
|
5. |
For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:
|
6. |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites;
|
7. |
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
|
8. |
Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.
|
9. |
Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
|
10. |
Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.
|
11. |
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
12. |
Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God."
|
13. |
O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.
|
14. |
Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
|
15. |
So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.
|
16. |
Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
|
17. |
Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,
|
18. |
That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
