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
A Song, — A Psalm of Asaph.
1O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
2For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
3Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
4They have said, ‘Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.’
5For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
6Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
8Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
10They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
11Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
12Who have said, ‘Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.’
13O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
14As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
15So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
16Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.
17They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
18And they know that Thou — (Thy name [is] Jehovah — by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!
