Psalm 83
1 aKeep not thou silence, O God:
bHold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies cmake a tumult:
And they that dhate thee have elifted up the head.
3 fThey have taken crafty counsel against thy people,
And consulted against gthy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us hcut them off ifrom being a nation;
That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have kconsulted together with one †consent:
They lare confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of mEdom, and the nIshmaelites;
7 psGebal, and mAmmon, and qAmalek;
The rPhilistines with the inhabitants of sTyre;
8 stAssur also is joined with them:
†They have uholpen xthe children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the yMidianites;
As to zSisera, as to Jabin, at athe brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at bEn-dor:
They became cas dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like dOreb, and like dZeeb:
Yea, all their eprinces as fZebah, and as fZalmunna:
12 Who said, gLet us take to ourselves
The hhouses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them ilike a wheel;
kAs the stubble ipbefore the wind.
14 lAs the fire burneth a wood,
And as the flame msetteth the mountains on fire;
15 So ipersecute them nwith thy otempest,
And make them afraid with thy ipstorm.
16 qFill their faces with shame;
That they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Let them be rconfounded and troubled for ever;
Yea, let them be rput to shame, and perish:
18 That men smay know that thou, twhose name ualone is JEHOVAH,
Art wthe most high over all the earth.
