Psalm 83–84

Psalm 83

^*A Song or Psalm ^||of Asaph.

^1aKeep not thou silence, O God:

^bHold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

²For, lo, thine enemies ^cmake a tumult:

And they that ^dhate thee have ^elifted up the head.

^3fThey have taken crafty counsel against thy people,

And consulted against ^gthy hidden ones.

⁴They have said, Come, and let us ^hcut them off ⁱfrom being a nation;

That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

⁵For they have ^kconsulted together with one ^†consent:

They ^lare confederate against thee:

⁶The tabernacles of ^mEdom, and the ⁿIshmaelites;

Of ^mMoab, and the ^oHagarenes;

^7psGebal, and ^mAmmon, and ^qAmalek;

The ^rPhilistines with the inhabitants of ^sTyre;

^8stAssur also is joined with them:

^†They have ^uholpen ^xthe children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Do unto them as unto the ^yMidianites;

As to ^zSisera, as to Jabin, at ^athe brook of Kison:

¹⁰Which perished at ^bEn-dor:

They became ^cas dung for the earth.

¹¹Make their nobles like ^dOreb, and like ^dZeeb:

Yea, all their ^eprinces as ^fZebah, and as ^fZalmunna:

¹²Who said, ^gLet us take to ourselves

The ^hhouses of God in possession.

¹³O my God, make them ⁱlike a wheel;

^kAs the stubble ^ipbefore the wind.

^14lAs the fire burneth a wood,

And as the flame ^msetteth the mountains on fire;

¹⁵So ⁱpersecute them ⁿwith thy ^otempest,

And make them afraid with thy ^ipstorm.

^16qFill their faces with shame;

That they may seek thy name, O Lord.

¹⁷Let them be ^rconfounded and troubled for ever;

Yea, let them be ^rput to shame, and perish:

¹⁸That men ^smay know that thou, ^twhose name ^ualone is JEHOVAH,

Art ^wthe most high over all the earth.

Psalm 84

To the chief Musician ^*upon Gittith, A Psalm ^||for the sons of Korah.

^1*How ^aamiable are ^bthy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!

^2cMy soul longeth, yea, even ^dfainteth for ^ethe courts of the Lord:

My heart and my flesh crieth out for ^fthe living God.

³Yea, the ^gsparrow hath found an house,

And the ^gswallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,

Even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, ^hmy King, and my God.

⁴ⁱBlessed are they that dwell in thy house:

They ^kwill be still praising thee. Selah.

⁵Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee;

In whose heart are ^lthe ways of them.

⁶Who passing through the valley ^||of Baca make it a well;

The ^mrain also ^†nfilleth the pools.

⁷They go ^||ofrom strength to strength,

Every one of them in Zion ^pappeareth before God.

^8qO Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer:

Give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

^9rBehold, O God our ^sshield,

And look upon the face of ^tthine anointed.

¹⁰For a day in ^ethy courts is better than a thousand.

^†I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,

Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹For the Lord God is ^ua sun and ^sshield:

The Lord will give grace and glory:

^xNo good thing will he withhold from them that ^ywalk uprightly.

¹²O Lord of hosts,

^zBlessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
