A song, a psalm of Asaph
83
📚✭✭Do not keep silent, O God; do not be quiet and do not be still,
O God.
2 📚✭For, look, your enemies make
an uproar,
and those who hate you have lifted
up their head.
3 📚They have craftily plotted
against your people,
and conspired together against
your hidden ones✭.
4 📚✭✭They have said,
“Come, and let us cut them off
as a nation,
so that the name
of Israel may be
remembered no more”.
5 📚For they have consulted together
with one purpose;
they have formed an alliance
against you:
6 📚✭The tents of Edom,
and the Ishmaelites,
of Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7 📚Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek,
the Philistines with the inhabitants
of Tyre;
8 📚Assyria too has joined
with them;
they have helped the children
of Lot. Selah
9 📚✭Do to them as you did to
the Midianites,
to Sisera, to Jabin,
at the Kishon River,
10 📚Who perished at Endor;
they became like refuse
on the ground.
11 📚Make their leaders like Oreb
and like Zeeb;
yes, all their princes like
Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 📚✭Who said, “Let us take possession
of the pastures of God for
ourselves”.
13 📚✭O my God, make them like a
rolling wheel,
like chaff before the wind.
14 📚As the fire burns a forest,
and as a flame sets the mountains
on fire,
15 📚So pursue them with
your tempest,
and frighten them with your storm.
16 📚✭Fill their faces with shame,
so that they may seek your name,
O LORD.
17 📚Let them be disappointed
and dismayed forever;
yes, let them be put to shame,
and perish,
18 📚That men may know
that you,
whose name alone is
the LORD,
are the Most High over
all the earth.
