| Chapter 83 |
1 |
God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God. -
|
2 |
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. -
|
3 |
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. -
|
4 |
'Come,' they say, 'and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.' -
|
5 |
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. -
|
6 |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; -
|
7 |
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; -
|
8 |
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. -
|
9 |
Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; -
|
10 |
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth. -
|
11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; -
|
12 |
Who said, 'Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands.' -
|
13 |
My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind. -
|
14 |
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire, -
|
15 |
So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm. -
|
16 |
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh. -
|
17 |
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish; -
|
18 |
That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. -
