[1] A Song. A Psalm. Of Asaph. [2] \83:1\O God, do not keep quiet: let your
lips be open and take no rest, O God. [3] \83:2\For see! those who make war
on you are out of control; your haters are lifting up their heads. [4]
\83:3\They have made wise designs against your people, talking together
against those whom you keep in a secret place. [5] \83:4\They have said,
Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may
go out of man's memory. [6] \83:5\For they have all come to an agreement;
they are all joined together against you: [7] \83:6\The tents of Edom and
the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarites; [8] \83:7\Gebal and Ammon and
Amalek; the Philistines and the people of Tyre; [9] \83:8\Assur is joined
with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah.)
[10] \83:9\Do to them what you did to the Midianites; what you did to
Sisera and Jabin, at the stream of Kishon: [11] \83:10\Who came to
destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste. [12] \83:11\Make
their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; and all their rulers like Zebah and
Zalmunna: [13] \83:12\Who have said, Let us take for our heritage the
resting-place of God. [14] \83:13\O my God, make them like the rolling
dust; like dry stems before the wind. [15] \83:14\As fire burning a wood,
and as a flame causing fire on the mountains, [16] \83:15\So go after them
with your strong wind, and let them be full of fear because of your storm.
[17] \83:16\Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour
to your name, O Lord. [18] \83:17\Let them be overcome and troubled for
ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction; [19] \83:18\So that
men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the
earth.
