Noyes - Psalms - 83

83:1  O God! keep not silence! Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God!

83:2  For, lo! thine enemies roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.

83:3  For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.

83:4  "Come," say they, "let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!"

83:5  With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league,—

83:6  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Of Moab and the Hagarenes,

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

83:8  The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.

83:9  Do to them as to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook Kison,

83:10  Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.

83:11  Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!

83:12  Who say, "Let us seize on God’s habitations!"

83:13  Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!

83:14  As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,

83:15  So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!

83:16  Cover their faces with shame, That they may seek thy name, O LORD!

83:17  Let them be confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish!

83:18  That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
