OEBcth - Psalms - 83

83:1  Do not keep silent, O God: hold not your peace, be not still, God.

83:2  For see! Your enemies roar, those who hate you lift up their heads,

83:3  laying crafty plans for your people, and plotting against those you treasure.

83:4  “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation, so Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.”

83:5  For, conspiring with one accord, they have made a league against you

83:6  Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites.

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

83:8  Syria, too, is confederate, they have strengthened the children of Lot. (Selah)

83:9  Deal with them as you dealt with Midian, with Sisera, with Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon,

83:10  who at Endor were destroyed, and became dung for the field.

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

83:12  who said, “Let us take for ourselves the meadows of God.”

83:13  Whirl them, my God, like dust, like stubble before the wind.

83:14  As the fire that kindles the forest, as flame that sets mountains ablaze,

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

83:16  Make them blush with shame; until they seek your name, O Lord.

83:17  Everlasting shame and confusion, disgrace and destruction be theirs.

83:18  Teach those who you alone are most high over all the earth.
