Psalms 83 — GNB

83Verse 1“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! keep not silence! Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God!^{Verse 2}For, lo! thine enemies roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.^{Verse 3}For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.^{Verse 4}“Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”^{Verse 5}With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league,—^{Verse 6}The tents 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}The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.^{Verse 9}Do to them as to the Midianites, As to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook Kison,^{Verse 10}Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.^{Verse 11}Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!^{Verse 12}Who say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”^{Verse 13}Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!^{Verse 14}As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,^{Verse 15}So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!^{Verse 16}Cover their faces with shame, That they may seek thy name, O LORD!^{Verse 17}Let them be confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish!^{Verse 18}That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
