c. Psalm 83
Psalm 83
83:1 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.
83:1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God. 83:2 See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads. 83:3 With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish, 83:4 saying, "Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more." 83:5 For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You- 83:6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites, 83:7 of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre. 83:8 Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah 83:9 Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon, 83:10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground. 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 83:12 who said, "Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God." 83:13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind. 83:14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze, 83:15 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm. 83:16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD. 83:17 May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace. 83:18 May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
