GodsWord - Psalms - 83

83:1  O God, do not remain silent. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. Do not keep quiet, O God.

83:2  Look, your enemies are in an uproar. Those who hate you hold their heads high.

83:3  They make plans in secret against your people and plot together against those you treasure.

83:4  They say, "Let's wipe out their nation so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered."

83:5  They agree completely on their plan. They form an alliance against you:

83:6  the tents from Edom and Ishmael, Moab and Hagar,

83:7  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia, along with those who live in Tyre.

83:8  Even Assyria has joined them. They helped the descendants of Lot. Selah

83:9  Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.

83:10  They were destroyed at Endor. They became manure to fertilize the ground.

83:11  Treat their influential people as you treated Oreb and Zeeb. Treat all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna.

83:12  They said, "Let's take God's pasturelands for ourselves."

83:13  O my God, blow them away like tumbleweeds, like husks in the wind.

83:14  Pursue them with your storms, and terrify them with your windstorms

83:15  the way fire burns a forest and flames set mountains on fire.

83:16  Let their faces blush with shame, O LORD, so that they must look to you for help.

83:17  Let them be put to shame and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace

83:18  so that they must acknowledge you. Your name is the LORD. You alone are the Most High God of the whole earth.
