PSALM 83
Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Do not keep silent, O God!
​​Do not hold Your peace,
​​And do not be still, O God!
2 ​​For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
​​And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
3 ​​They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
​​And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
4 ​​They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
​​That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
​
5 ​​For they have consulted together with one consent;
​​They form a confederacy against You:
6 ​​The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
​​Moab and the Hagrites;
7 ​​Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
​​Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 ​​Assyria also has joined with them;
​​They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
​
9 ​​Deal with them as with Midian,
​​As with Sisera,
​​As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 ​​Who perished at En Dor,
​​Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 ​​Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,
​​Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ​​Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
​​The pastures of God for a possession.”
​
13 ​​O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
​​Like the chaff before the wind!
14 ​​As the fire burns the woods,
​​And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15 ​​So pursue them with Your tempest,
​​And frighten them with Your storm.
16 ​​Fill their faces with shame,
​​That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17 ​​Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;
​​Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 ​​That they may know that You, whose name alone is the LORD,
​​Are the Most High over all the earth.
