A Psalm of Asaph.
[83:1] O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
[83:2] For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads.
[83:3] They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones.
[83:4] They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
[83:5] For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—
[83:6] the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
[83:7] Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
[83:8] Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot.
[83:9] Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
[83:10] who were destroyed at En-Dor, who became dung for the ground.
[83:11] Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
[83:12] who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God.”
[83:13] O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.
[83:14] As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
[83:15] so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!
[83:16] Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord.
[83:17] Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace,
[83:18] that they may know that you alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
