Rotherham - Psalms - 83

83:1  O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!

83:2  For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;

83:3  Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.

83:4  They have said—Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

83:5  For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee—a covenant, would they solemnize—

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 dwellers in Tyre;

83:8  Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. [Selah.]

83:9  Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;

83:10  They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!

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

83:12  Who said—Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God!

83:13  O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;

83:14  As a fire burneth a forest,—And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,

83:15  So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest,—And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:

83:16  Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;

83:17  Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:

83:18  That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
