83:1 O God, do not keep silent; do not be still, do not be quiet!
83:2 Look! Your enemies are in revolt, and those who hate you are rebelling.
83:3 They are making secret plans against your people; they are plotting against those you protect.
83:4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy their nation, so that Israel will be forgotten forever.”
83:5 They agree on their plan and form an alliance against you:
83:6 the people of Edom and the Ishmaelites; the people of Moab and the Hagrites;
83:7 the people of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, and of Philistia and Tyre.
83:8 Assyria has also joined them as a strong ally of the Ammonites and Moabites, the descendants of Lot.
83:9 Do to them what you did to the Midianites, and to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
83:10 You defeated them at Endor, and their bodies rotted on the ground.
83:11 Do to their leaders what you did to Oreb and Zeeb; defeat all their rulers as you did Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:12 who said, “We will take for our own the land that belongs to God.”
83:13 Scatter them like dust, O God, like straw blown away by the wind.
83:14 As fire burns the forest, as flames set the hills on fire,
83:15 chase them away with your storm and terrify them with your fierce winds.
83:16 Cover their faces with shame, O Lord, and make them acknowledge your power.
83:17 May they be defeated and terrified forever; may they die in complete disgrace.
83:18 May they know that you alone are the Lord, supreme ruler over all the earth.
