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.
