Psalm 83
God Implored to Confound His Enemies.
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1Do not keep silent, O God;
Do not hold Your peace or be still, O God.
2For behold, Your enemies are in tumult,
And those who hate You have raised their heads [in hatred of You]. [Acts 4:25, 26]
3They concoct crafty schemes against Your people,
And conspire together against Your hidden and precious ones.
4They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation;
Let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5For they have conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant—
6The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Of Moab and the Hagrites,
7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm [of strength] to them. Selah.
9¶Deal with them as [You did] with Midian,
As with Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon, [Judg 4:12-24]
10Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who became like dung for the earth.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb
And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, [Judg 7:23-25; 8:10-21]
12Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves
The pastures of God.”
13¶O my God, make them like #83:13 Or tumbleweed.whirling dust,
Like chaff before the wind [worthless and without substance].
14Like fire consumes the forest,
And like the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15So pursue them with Your tempest
And terrify them with [the violence of] Your storm.
16Fill their faces with shame and disgrace,
That they may [persistently] seek Your name, O Lord.
17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be humiliated and perish,
18That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.
