Psalms - Chapter 83

Chapter 82 | Psalms | Contents

1 | Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 | For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 | They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 | They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 | For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 | The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 | Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 | Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of lot. Selah.
9 | Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 | Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 | Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 | Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 | O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 | As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 | So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 | Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 | Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 | That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
