Psalms 83

^{Psalms 83:1} O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

^{Psalms 83:2} See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.

^{Psalms 83:3} With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,

^{Psalms 83:4} saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

^{Psalms 83:5} For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—

^{Psalms 83:6} the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

^{Psalms 83:7} of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.

^{Psalms 83:8} Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah

^{Psalms 83:9} Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

^{Psalms 83:10} who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.

^{Psalms 83:11} Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

^{Psalms 83:12} who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”

^{Psalms 83:13} Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

^{Psalms 83:14} As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

^{Psalms 83:15} so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

^{Psalms 83:16} Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

^{Psalms 83:17} May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.

^{Psalms 83:18} May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
