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
83
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm to the sons of Korah.
2 How beloved are your tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
3 My soul longs and faints for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have exulted in the living God.
4 For even the sparrow has found a home for himself, and the turtle-dove a nest for herself, where she may lay her young: your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
5 Blessed are those who dwell in your house, O Lord. They will praise you from age to age.
6 Blessed is the man whose help is from you. In his heart, he is disposed to ascend
7 from the valley of tears, from the place which he has determined.
8 For even the lawgiver will provide a blessing; they will go from virtue to virtue. The God of gods will be seen in Zion.
9 O Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer. Pay attention, O God of Jacob.
10 O God, gaze upon our protector, and look upon the face of your Christ.
11 For one day in your courts is better than thousands elsewhere. I have chosen to be lowly in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12 For God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.
13 He will not withhold good things from those who walk in innocence. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who hopes in you.
