Psalms - 83

1 - 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.
