Psalms 83

God implored to confound his enemies.

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

¹God, don`t keep silent. Don`t keep silent, and don`t be still, God.

²For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

³They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

⁴"Come," they say, "and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

⁵For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

⁶The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

⁷Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

¹⁰Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.

¹¹Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

¹²Who said, "Let us take possession Of God`s pasturelands."

¹³My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.

¹⁴As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

¹⁵So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm.

¹⁶Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh.

¹⁷Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

¹⁸That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth.
