| 83:1 |
<A Song. A Psalm. Of Asaph.> O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God. |
| 83:2 |
For see! those who make war on you are out of control; your haters are lifting up their heads. |
| 83:3 |
They have made wise designs against your people, talking together against those whom you keep in a secret place. |
| 83:4 |
They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory. |
| 83:5 |
For they have all come to an agreement; they are all joined together against you: |
| 83:6 |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites; |
| 83:7 |
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; the Philistines and the people of Tyre; |
| 83:8 |
Assur is joined with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah.) |
| 83:9 |
Do to them what you did to the Midianites; what you did to Sisera and Jabin, at the stream of Kishon: |
| 83:10 |
Who came to destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste. |
| 83:11 |
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna: |
| 83:12 |
Who have said, Let us take for our heritage the resting-place of God. |
| 83:13 |
O my God, make them like the rolling dust; like dry stems before the wind. |
| 83:14 |
As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains, |
| 83:15 |
So go after them with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm. |
| 83:16 |
Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord. |
| 83:17 |
Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction; |
| 83:18 |
So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth. |
