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.

Psalms 83
83
O God, Be Not Silent
A song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1O God, be not silent; be not speechless;#83:1 Or deaf
be not still, O God.
2See how Your enemies rage,
how Your foes have reared their heads.
3With cunning they scheme against Your people
and conspire against those You cherish,
4saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation;
may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5For with one mind they plot together,
they form an alliance against You—
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab and the Hagrites,
7of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8Even Assyria has joined them,
lending strength to the sons of Lot.
Selah
9Do to them as You did to Midian,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10who perished at Endor
and became like dung on the ground.
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.”
13Make them like tumbleweed, O my God,
like chaff before the wind.
14As fire consumes a forest,
as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15so pursue them with Your tempest,
and terrify them with Your storm.
16Cover their faces with shame,
that they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17May they be ever ashamed and terrified;
may they perish in disgrace.
18May they know that You alone,
whose name is the Lord,
are Most High over all the earth.
