LEB - Psalms - 83

83:1  O God, do not rest silently. Do not keep silent or be still, O God.

83:2  For look, your enemies roar, and those who hate you have lifted their head.

83:3  They devise cunning schemes against your people, and consult together against your protected ones.

83:4  They say, “Come, let us annihilate them from being a nation, so that the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

83:5  For they have consulted together ⌞with a unified purpose⌟. They have made a covenant against you:

83:6  the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,

83:7  Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

83:8  Assyria also has joined with them. They ⌞provide help⌟ to the children of Lot. Selah

83:9  Do to them as you did with Midian, as with Sisera, as with Jabin at the wadi of Kishon.

83:10  They were destroyed at En-dor; they became dung for the ground.

83:11  Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their chiefs like Zebah and Zalmunna,

83:12  who said, “Let us take as our possession the pastures of God.”

83:13  O my God, make them like the tumbleweed, like the chaff before wind.

83:14  As fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets afire mountains,

83:15  so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.

83:16  Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Yahweh.

83:17  Let them be ashamed and terrified forever, and let them be humiliated and perish

83:18  that they may know that you, whose name is Yahweh, you alone, are the Most High over the whole earth.
