←Prev   Psalms 83 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


83:1  A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle.
83:2  See how Your enemies make an uproar; those who hate You have acted arrogantly.
83:3  They devise clever schemes against Your people; they conspire against Your treasured ones.
83:4  They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered."
83:5  For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against You--
83:6  the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
83:7  Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
83:8  Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah
83:9  Deal with them as You did with Midian, as You did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
83:10  They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground.
83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:12  who said, "Let us seize God's pastures for ourselves."
83:13  Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind.
83:14  As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains,
83:15  so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm.
83:16  Cover their faces with shame so that they will seek Your name Yahweh.
83:17  Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace.
83:18  May they know that You alone-- whose name is Yahweh-- are the Most High over all the earth.
