83:1  A song. A psalm of Asaph.
83:2  O God, do not remain silent; do not be quiet and inactive, O God.
83:3  Note how your enemies rage about, how your foes increase in arrogance.
83:4  They formulate shrewd plans against your people, conspiring against those you love.
83:5  They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be totally forgotten.”
83:6  They conspire with a single mind, forming an alliance against you:
83:7  the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
83:8  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia, and the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:9  Assyria has also joined them as an ally, offering aid to the descendants of Lot. Selah
83:10  Deal with them as you did with Midian, and with Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon,
83:11  who were destroyed at Endor and became manure for the ground.
83:12  Make their chieftains like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:13  who boasted, “Let us seize for ourselves the pastures of God.”
83:14  O my God, treat them like tumbleweed, like chaff blown before the wind.
83:15  As a fire rages through a forest, as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
83:16  so hound them with your tempests and terrify them with your stormwinds.
83:17  Fill their faces with shame so that they will seek your name, O Lord.
83:18  Let them be humiliated and terrified forever; let them be disgraced and perish.
