| 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, thy 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 helped the children of Lot. Selah. -
|
9 |
Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: -
|
10 |
Who perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth. -
|
11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yes, 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; yes, 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. -
