| Chapter 83 |
1 |
A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. 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. --
