Psalm 83:1-18
O God, Be Not Silent

0 A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph.

0:

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

1:

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

2:

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

3:

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.

4:

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

5:

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

6:

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

7:

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

8:

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

9:

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

10:

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

11:

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

12:

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

13:

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

14:

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

15:

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

16:

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

17:

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

18:
