Psalm 83

0 A Song or Psalm ^aof Asaph.

1 Keep ¹not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, ¹lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They ¹have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against ²thy hidden ones.

4 They have said, ¹Come, and let us ²cut them off ³from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For ¹they have consulted together with one ^aconsent: they are confederate against thee:

6 The ¹tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 ¹Gebal, and Ammon, and ²Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 ¹Assur also is joined with them: they have ^aholpen ²the children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do unto them as unto the ¹Midianites; as to ²Sisera, as to Jabin, at ³the brook of Kison:

10 which perished at Endor: they became as ¹dung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like ¹Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as ²Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Who said, ¹Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 ¹O my God, make them like a wheel; as ²the stubble before the wind.

14 As ¹the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15 So ¹persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16 ¹Fill their faces with shame; that ^athey may seek thy name, O Lord.

17 Let ¹them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That ¹men may know that thou, ²whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
