Keep not thou silence, O
God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate
thee have lifted up the head.
83:3
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
consulted against thy hidden ones.
83:4
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.
83:5
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
confederate against thee:
83:6
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and
the Hagarenes;
83:7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the
children of Lot. Selah.
83:9
Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as
[to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
83:10
[Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for the
earth.
83:11
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their
princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
possession.
83:13
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before
the wind.
83:14
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the
mountains on fire;
83:15
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid
with thy storm.
83:16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name,
O LORD.
83:17
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let
them be put to shame, and perish:
83:18
That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]
JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.
