Psalm 83 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

God Implored to Confound His Enemies.

Psa 83:1

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.

God, do not remain quiet;

Do not be silent and, God, do not be still.

Psa 83:2

For behold, Your enemies make an uproar,

And those who hate You have [fn]exalted themselves.

Psa 83:3

They make shrewd plans against Your people,

And [fn]conspire together against Your [fn]treasured ones.

Psa 83:4

They have said, “Come, and let’s wipe them out [fn]as a nation,

So that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”

Psa 83:5

For they have [fn]conspired together with one mind;

They make a covenant against You:

Psa 83:6

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

Moab and the Hagrites;

Psa 83:7

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Psa 83:8

Assyria also has joined them;

They have become [fn]a help to the children of Lot. Selah

Psa 83:9

Deal with them as with Midian,

As with Sisera and Jabin at the river of Kishon,

Psa 83:10

Who were destroyed at En-dor,

Who became like dung for the ground.

Psa 83:11

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

And all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Psa 83:12

Who said, “Let’s possess for ourselves

The pastures of God.”

Psa 83:13

My God, make them like the [fn]whirling dust,

Like chaff before the wind.

Psa 83:14

Like fire that burns the forest,

And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

Psa 83:15

So pursue them with Your heavy gale,

And terrify them with Your storm.

Psa 83:16

Fill their faces with dishonor,

So that they will seek Your name, LORD.

Psa 83:17

May they be ashamed and dismayed forever,

And may they be humiliated and perish,

Psa 83:18

So that they will know that You alone, whose name is the LORD,

Are the Most High over all the earth.
