Psalm 83:1–18

¹Do ^anot keep silent, O God!

Do not hold Your peace,

And do not be still, O God!

²For behold, ^bYour enemies make a ¹tumult;

And those who hate You have ²lifted up their head.

³They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,

And consulted together ^cagainst Your sheltered ones.

⁴They have said, “Come, and ^dlet us cut them off from being a nation,

That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

⁵For they have consulted together with one ³consent;

They ⁴form a confederacy against You:

^6eThe tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;

Moab and the Hagrites;

⁷Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸Assyria also has joined with them;

They have helped the children of Lot.

Selah

⁹Deal with them as with ^fMidian,

As with ^gSisera,

As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

¹⁰Who perished at En Dor,

^hWho became as refuse on the earth.

¹¹Make their nobles like ⁱOreb and like Zeeb,

Yes, all their princes like ^jZebah and Zalmunna,

¹²Who said, “Let us take for ourselves

The pastures of God for a possession.”

^13kO my God, make them like the whirling dust,

^lLike the chaff before the wind!

¹⁴As the fire burns the woods,

And as the flame ^msets the mountains on fire,

¹⁵So pursue them with Your tempest,

And frighten them with Your storm.

¹⁶Fill their faces with shame,

That they may seek Your name, O Lord.

¹⁷Let them be ⁵confounded and dismayed forever;

Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,

¹⁸ⁿThat they may know that You, whose ^oname alone is the Lord,

Are ^pthe Most High over all the earth.
