PSALM 83
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1Keep not, O God, we thee entreat,
O keep not silence now:
Do thou not hold thy peace, O God,
and still no more be thou.
2For, lo, thine enemies a noise
tumultuously have made;
And they that haters are of thee
have lifted up the head.
3Against thy chosen people they
do crafty counsel take;
And they against thy hidden ones
do consultations make.
4Come, let us cut them off, said they,
from being a nation,
That of the name of Isr'el may
no more be mention.
5For with joint heart they plot, in league
against thee they combine.
6The tents of Edom, Ishm'elites,
Moab's and Hagar's line;
7Gebal, and Ammon, Amalek,
Philistines, those of Tyre;
8And Assur join'd with them, to help
Lot's children they conspire.
9Do to them as to Midian,
Jabin at Kison strand;
10And Sis'ra, which at En-dor fell,
as dung to fat the land.
11Like Oreb and like Zeeb make
their noble men to fall;
Like Zeba and Zalmunna like,
make thou their princes all;
12Who said, For our possession
let us God's houses take.
13My God, them like a wheel, as chaff
before the wind, them make.
14As fire consumes the wood, as flame
doth mountains set on fire,
15Chase and affright them with the storm
and tempest of thine ire.
16Their faces fill with shame, O Lord,
that they may seek thy name.
17Let them confounded be, and vex'd,
and perish in their shame:
18That men may know that thou, to whom
alone doth appertain
The name JEHOVAH, dost most high
o'er all the earth remain.

PSALM 83
God Implored to Confound His Enemies.
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1Do not keep silent, O God;
Do not hold Your peace or be still, O God.
2For behold, Your enemies are in tumult,
And those who hate You have raised their heads [in hatred of You].
3They concoct crafty schemes against Your people,
And conspire together against Your hidden and precious ones.
4They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation;
Let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5For they have conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant—
6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Of Moab and the Hagrites,
7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm [of strength] to them. Selah.
9Deal with them as [You did] with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon,
10Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became like dung for the earth.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb
And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.”
13O my God, make them like #Or tumbleweed.whirling dust,
Like chaff before the wind [worthless and without substance].
14Like fire consumes the forest,
And like the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15So pursue them with Your tempest
And terrify them with [the violence of] Your storm.
16Fill their faces with shame and disgrace,
That they may [persistently] seek Your name, O Lord.
17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be humiliated and perish,
18That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.
