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
A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.
1O God#GodHebrew: Elohim keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O ·God#GodHebrew: El 2For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head. 3They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones: 4They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more. 5For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee. 6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites; 7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.
9Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: 10Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. 11Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna. 12For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's#GodHebrew: Elohim dwelling-places in possession. 13O my God#GodHebrew: Elohim make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind. 14As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, 15So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind. 16Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. 17Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish: 18That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
