83:1  A song: a psalm of Asaph.
83:2  God, do not keep silent. Do not hold Your peace, O God. Do not be still.
83:3  For look, Your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate You lift up their head.
83:4  They make a shrewd plot against Your people, conspiring against Your treasured ones.
83:5  “Come,” they say, “let’s wipe them out as a nation! Let Israel’s name be remembered no more!”
83:6  For with one mind they plot together. Against You do they make a covenant.
83:7  The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
83:8  Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre,
83:9  even Assyria has joined them, becoming a strong arm for Lot’s sons. Selah
83:10  Do to them as You did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River,
83:11  who perished at En-dor— they became as dung for the ground.
83:12  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb— all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:13  who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”
83:14  My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.
83:15  As a fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
83:16  so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
83:17  Cover their faces with shame, so they may seek Your Name—Adonai.
83:18  Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever. Let them be humiliated and perish.
