Psalmen 83

1Do not keep silent, O God: be not still, God. 2For see! Your enemies roar, 3laying crafty plans for your people, and plotting against those you treasure. 4“Come, let us wipe them out as a nation, so Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.” 5For, conspiring with one accord, they have made a league against you 6Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, and the Hagrites. 7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, of Tyre; 8Syria, too, is confederate, they have strengthened the children of Lot. Selah 9Deal with them as you dealt with Midian, with Sisera, with Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon, 10who at Endor were destroyed, and became dung for the field. 11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 12who said, “Let us take for ourselves the meadows of God.” 13Whirl them, my God, like dust, the wind. 14As the fire that kindles the forest, as flame that sets mountains ablaze, 15so with your tempest pursue them, them with your hurricane. 16Make them blush with shame; they seek your name, O Lord. 17Everlasting shame and confusion, disgrace and destruction be theirs.
