Psalm 83

1A SONG. A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, let there be no silence to You, || Do not be silent, nor be quiet, O God. 2For behold, Your enemies roar, || And those hating You have lifted up the head, 3They take crafty counsel against Your people, || And consult against Your hidden ones. 4They have said, “Come, and we cut them off from [being] a nation, || And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.” 5For they consulted in heart together, || They make a covenant against You, 6Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes, 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre, 8Asshur is also joined with them, || They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah. 9Do to them as Midian, || As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon. 10They were destroyed at Endor, || They were dung for the ground! 11Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, || And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes, 12Who have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.” 13O my God, make them as a rolling thing, || As stubble before wind. 14As a fire burns a forest, || And as a flame sets hills on fire, 15So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, || And trouble them with Your windstorm. 16Fill their faces [with] shame, || And they seek Your Name, O YHWH. 17They are ashamed and troubled forever, || Indeed, they are confounded and lost.
