Psalm 83 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

God implored to confound his Enemies.

Psa 83:1
A song. A Psalm of Asaph.
O God, keep not thou silence:
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Psa 83:2
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;
And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Psa 83:3
They take crafty counsel against thy people,
And consult together against thy hidden ones.
Psa 83:4
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.
Psa 83:5
For they have consulted together with one consent;
Against thee do they make a covenant:
Psa 83:6
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psa 83:7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
Psa 83:8
Assyria also is joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot.
[Selah
Psa 83:9
Do thou unto them as unto Midian,
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
Psa 83:10
Who perished at Endor,
Who became as dung for the earth.
Psa 83:11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;
Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
Psa 83:12
Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession
The habitations of God.
Psa 83:13
O my God, make them like the whirling dust;
As stubble before the wind.
Psa 83:14
As the fire that burneth the forest,
And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
Psa 83:15
So pursue them with thy tempest,
And terrify them with thy storm.
Psa 83:16
Fill their faces with confusion,
That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
Psa 83:17
Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;
Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
Psa 83:18
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,
Art the Most High over all the earth.
