Psalm 83, a song or psalm of Asaph.
Keep not thou silence, O God.
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
For lo, thine enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up the
head.
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden
ones.
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of
Israel may be no more in remembrance.
For they have consulted together with one consent.
They are confederate against thee.
The tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarins,
Gebel and Ammon and Amalek, the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre.
Asur also is joined with them.
They have holpen the children of Lot, Sila.
Do unto them as unto the Midianites, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook of
Chison, which perished at Endor.
They became as dung for the earth.
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeb.
Yea, all their princes as Zeba, and as Ammon, who said, Let us take to
ourselves the houses of God in possession.
O my God, make them like a wheel, as the stubble before the wind.
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth of mountains on fire.
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
Let them be confounded and troubled forever.
Yea, let them be put to shame and perish, that men may know that thou, whose name
alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.
