Psalms83

¹ God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, 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’s wipe them out as a nation, So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”

⁵ For they have conspired together with one mind; They make a covenant against You:

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

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

⁸ Assyria also has joined 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 river of Kishon,

¹⁰ Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became like dung for the ground.

¹¹ Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

¹² Who said, “Let’s possess for ourselves The pastures of God.”

¹³ 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 heavy gale, And terrify them with Your storm.

¹⁶ Fill their faces with dishonor, So that they will seek Your name, Lord.

¹⁷ May they be ashamed and dismayed forever, And may they be humiliated and perish,

¹⁸ So that they will know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
