NHEBJE - Psalms - 83

83:1  God, do not keep silent. Do not keep silent, and do not be still, God.

83:2  For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

83:3  They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

83:4  "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

83:5  For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

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

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

83:8  Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

83:9  Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

83:10  who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

83:12  who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."

83:13  My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.

83:14  As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

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

83:16  Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Jehovah.

83:17  Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

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