Psalms 83

83
A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1God, please do not stay silent! You can't remain unmoved! God, you must not keep quiet!
2Can't you hear the roars of your enemies? Can't you see how those who hate you are defiantly lifting up their heads?
3They invent cunning plans to conspire against your people; they plot against those you treasure.
4They say, “Come on! Let's destroy them as a nation so the name ‘Israel’ will be completely forgotten.”
5They all agree in their conspiracy; they've made a treaty together to attack you—
6the people of Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagirites;
7the people of Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre.
8Assyria too has joined them, allied with the descendants of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them what you did to Midian, what you did to Sisera and Jabin#83:9. Sisera and Jabin: see Judges 4. at the Kishon River.
10They were destroyed at Endor and became like manure to fertilize the ground.
11Make their leaders like Oreb and Zeeb; all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,#83:11. Oreb and Zeeb; Zebah and Zalmunna: see Judges 6 and Judges 7.
12for they said, “Let's take the pastures of God for ourselves!”
13My God, make them like whirling tumbleweeds, chaff blown away by the wind.
14Just like fire that burns the forest, a flame that sets fire to the mountains,
15in the same way chase them down with your storm, terrify them with your whirlwind.
16Shame them in defeat#83:16. Literally, “fill their faces with shame.” so that they come to you, Lord!
17Make them ashamed, terrify them forever so that they die in disgrace.
18Let them understand that you alone, called the Lord, are the Most High who rules over all the earth.
