Psalms 83 — KJVCP

A Song or Psalm of Asaph.

83Verse 1Keep not thou silence, O God:
Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
^{Verse 2}For lo, thine enemies make a tumult:
And they that hate thee have lift up the head.
^{Verse 3}They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,
And consulted against thy hidden ones.
^{Verse 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.
^{Verse 5}For they have consulted together with one consent:
They are confederate against thee:
^{Verse 6}The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;
Of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
^{Verse 7}Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;
The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
^{Verse 8}Assur also is joined with them:
They have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.^{Verse 9}Do unto them as unto the Midianites;
As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
^{Verse 10}Which perished at En-dor:
They became as dung for the earth.
^{Verse 11}Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:
Yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
^{Verse 12}Who said, Let us take to ourselves
The houses of God in possession.
^{Verse 13}O my God, make them like a wheel;
As the stubble before the wind.
^{Verse 14}As the fire burneth a wood,
And as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
^{Verse 15}So persecute them with thy tempest,
And make them afraid with thy storm.
^{Verse 16}Fill their faces with shame;
That they may seek thy name, O Lord.
^{Verse 17}Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;
Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
^{Verse 18}That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH,
Art the most High over all the earth.
