83:1  God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.
83:2  For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
83:3  They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
83:4  "Come," they say, "and let's destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
83:5  For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
83:6  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
83:7  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8  Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
83:9  Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
83:10  who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
83:12  who said, "Let us take possession of God's pasturelands."
83:13  My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.
83:14  As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
83:15  so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
83:16  Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.
83:17  Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
83:18  that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth. For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
