83:1  A Song. A Psalm of Asaph. Do not keep silent, O God; Do not hold Your peace or be still, O God.
83:2  For behold, Your enemies are in tumult, And those who hate You have raised their heads [in hatred of You].
83:3  They concoct crafty schemes against Your people, And conspire together against Your hidden and precious ones.
83:4  They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation; Let the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
83:5  For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant—
83:6  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Of Moab and the Hagrites,
83:7  Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
83:8  Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot [the Ammonites and the Moabites] and have been an arm [of strength] to them. Selah.
83:9  Deal with them as [You did] with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin at the brook of Kishon,
83:10  Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became like dung for the earth.
83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:12  Who said, “Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God.”
83:13  O my God, make them like whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind [worthless and without substance].
83:14  Like fire consumes the forest, And like the flame sets the mountains on fire,
83:15  So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with [the violence of] Your storm.
83:16  Fill their faces with shame and disgrace, That they may [persistently] seek Your name, O Lord.
83:17  Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be humiliated and perish,
83:18  That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
