Psalm Eighty Three

1:Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2: For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3: They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4: They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5: For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7: :Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8: Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9: Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11: Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13: O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14: As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15: So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm

16: Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17: Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
