The Psalms

chapter 83


Chapters:


verse #1

A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.


verse #2

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


verse #3

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


verse #4

“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”


verse #5

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


verse #6

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


verse #7

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


verse #8

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


verse #9

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


verse #10

who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.


verse #11

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,


verse #12

who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”


verse #13

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


verse #14

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


verse #15

so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.


verse #16

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


verse #17

Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;


verse #18

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