83:1  A song; a psalm by Asaph. O Elohim, do not remain silent. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. Do not keep quiet, O El.
83:2  Look, your enemies are in an uproar. Those who hate you hold their heads high.
83:3  They make plans in secret against your people and plot together against those you treasure.
83:4  They say, “Let’s wipe out their nation so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.”
83:5  They agree completely on their plan. They form an alliance against you:
83:6  the tents from Edom and Ishmael, Moab and Hagar,
83:7  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia, along with those who live in Tyre.
83:8  Even Assyria has joined them. They helped the descendants of Lot. Selah
83:9  Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
83:10  They were destroyed at Endor. They became manure to fertilize the ground.
83:11  Treat their influential people as you treated Oreb and Zeeb. Treat all their leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna.
83:12  They said, “Let’s take Elohim’s pasturelands for ourselves.”
83:13  O my Elohim, blow them away like tumbleweeds, like husks in the wind.
83:14  Pursue them with your storms, and terrify them with your windstorms
83:15  the way fire burns a forest and flames set mountains on fire.
83:16  Let their faces blush with shame, O Yahweh, so that they must look to you for help.
83:17  Let them be put to shame and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace
83:18  so that they must acknowledge you. Your name is Yahweh. You alone are Elyon of the whole earth.
