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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 83
83
1O Elohim, do not remain silent! Do not be speechless, And do not be still, O Ěl!
2For look, Your enemies make an uproar, And those hating You have lifted up their head.
3They craftily plot against Your people, And conspire against Your treasured ones.
4They have said, “Come, And let us wipe them out as a nation, And let the name of Yisra’ĕl be remembered no more.”
5For they have conspired together with one heart; They have made a covenant against You –
6The tents of Eḏom and the Yishma‛ĕlites, Mo’aḇ and the Haḡarites,
7Geḇal, and Ammon, and Amalĕq, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tsor,
8Ashshur also has joined with them, They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them as to Miḏyan, As to Sisera, As to Yaḇin at the wadi Qishon,
10Who perished at Ěndor, Who became as dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like Orĕḇ and like Ze’ĕḇ, And all their princes like Zeḇaḥ and Tsalmunna,
12Who have said, “Let us take possession of the pastures of Elohim For ourselves.”
13O my Elohim, make them as whirling dust, As stubble before the wind!
14As a fire consumes a forest, And as a flame sets mountains on fire,
15So pursue them with Your whirlwind, And frighten them with Your storm.
16Fill their faces with shame, And let them seek Your Name,#See Psa. 44:21, 22; Psa. 74:18; Isa. 52:5; Jer. 23:26, 27 O יהוה.
17Let them be ashamed and alarmed forever; And let them become abashed and perish,
18And let them know that You, Whose Name is יהוה, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
