Psalms 83

¹A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, let there be no silence to You, Do not be silent, nor be quiet, O God.

²For behold, Your enemies roar, And those hating You have lifted up the head,

³They take crafty counsel against Your people, And consult against Your hidden ones.

⁴They have said, “Come, and we cut them off from being a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.”

⁵For they consulted in heart together, They make a covenant against You,

⁶Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,

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

⁸Asshur is also joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.

⁹Do to them as Midian, As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon.

¹⁰They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!

¹¹Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes,

¹²Who have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.”

¹³O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.

¹⁴As a fire burns a forest, And as a flame sets hills on fire,

¹⁵So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, And trouble them with Your windstorm.

¹⁶Fill their faces with shame, And they seek Your Name, O YHWH.

¹⁷They are ashamed and troubled forever, Indeed, they are confounded and lost.

¹⁸And they know that You—Your Name is YHWH—By Yourself are the Most High over all the earth!
