83:2  Your enemies are making plans. Those who hate you are getting ready to attack.
83:3  They are making plans against your people. They plan to hurt those you love.
83:4  They say, “Come, let’s destroy them as a nation. Then no one will remember the name ‘Israel’ anymore.”
83:5  They are united in their plan. These have made an agreement against you:
83:6  the families of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
83:7  the people of Byblos, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia and Tyre.
83:8  Even Assyria has joined them to help Ammon and Moab, the descendants of Lot. Selah
83:9  God, do to them what you did to Midian. Do what you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
83:10  They died at Endor. Their bodies rotted on the ground.
83:11  Do to their important leaders what you did to Oreb and Zeeb. Do to their princes what you did to Zebah and Zalmunna.
83:12  They said, “Let’s take for ourselves the pasturelands that belong to God.”
83:13  My God, make them like the tumbleweed, like chaff blown away by the wind.
83:14  Be like a fire that burns a forest or like flames that blaze through the hills.
83:15  Chase them with your storm. Frighten them with your wind.
83:16  Cover them with shame. Then people will look for you, Lord.
83:17  Make them afraid and ashamed forever. Disgrace them and destroy them.
83:18  Then they will know that you are the Lord. They will know that only you are God Most High over all the earth.
