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
A Prayer for the Destruction of Israel's Enemies
A Song or Psalm of Asaph.
1Keep not thou silence, O God:
hold not thy peace,
and be not still, O God.
2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:
and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,
and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5For they have consulted together with one consent:
they are confederate against thee:
6the tabernacles of Edom, and the Ish´maelites;
of Moab, and the Hag´arenes;
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Am´alek;
the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Assyria also is joined with them:
they have helped the children of Lot. Selah.

Judg 7.1-23. Do unto them as unto the Mid´i-anites;
as to Sis´era, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:#Judg 4.6-22.
10 which perished at En–dor:
they became as dung for the earth.

Judg 7.25. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Ze´eb:
yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmun´na:#Judg 8.12.
12who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13O my God, make them like a wheel;
as the stubble before the wind.
14As the fire burneth a wood,
and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15so persecute them with thy tempest,
and make them afraid with thy storm.
16Fill their faces with shame;
that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;
yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18that men may know that thou,
whose name alone is Jehovah,
art the Most High over all the earth.
