Psalms 83 : 1 - 18
Chapter 83
1 | Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!
|
2 | For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
|
3 | They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
|
4 | They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
|
5 | For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy 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 with them; They have helped the children of Lot.Selah
|
9 | Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
|
10 | Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.
|
11 | Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
12 | Who said, "Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession."
|
13 | O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!
|
14 | As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
|
15 | So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.
|
16 | Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
|
17 | Let them be confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
|
18 | That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.
