83:1  (A song and a psalm by Asaph.) Our God, don't just sit there, silently doing nothing!
83:2  Your hateful enemies are turning against you and rebelling.
83:3  They are sly, and they plot against those you treasure.
83:4  They say, “Let's wipe out the nation of Israel and make sure that no one remembers its name!”
83:5  All of them fully agree in their plans against you, and among them are
83:6  Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites;
83:7  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia and Phoenicia.
83:8  Even Assyria has joined forces with Moab and Ammon.
83:9  Our Lord, punish all of them as you punished Midian. Destroy them, as you destroyed Sisera and Jabin at Kishon Creek
83:10  near Endor, and let their bodies rot.
83:11  Treat their leaders as you did Oreb and Zeeb, Zebah and Zalmunna.
83:12  All of them said, “We'll take God's valuable land!”
83:13  Our God, scatter them around like dust in a whirlwind.
83:14  Just as flames destroy forests on the mountains,
83:15  pursue and terrify them with storms of your own.
83:16  Make them blush with shame, until they turn and worship you, our Lord.
83:17  Let them be forever ashamed and confused. Let them die in disgrace.
83:18  Make them realize that you are the Lord Most High, the only ruler of earth!
