Psalms 83 — WEBBE

A song. A Psalm by Asaph.

83Verse 1God, don’t keep silent.Don’t keep silent,
and don’t be still, God.^{Verse 2}For, behold, your enemies are stirred up.Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.^{Verse 3}They conspire with cunning against your people.They plot against your cherished ones.^{Verse 4}“Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation,that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”^{Verse 5}For they have conspired together with one mind.They form an alliance against you.^{Verse 6}The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;Moab, and the Hagrites;^{Verse 7}Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;^{Verse 8}Assyria also is joined with them.They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.^{Verse 9}Do to them as you did to Midian,as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;^{Verse 10}who perished at Endor,who became as dung for the earth.^{Verse 11}Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
^{Verse 12}who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”^{Verse 13}My God, make them like tumbleweed,like chaff before the wind.^{Verse 14}As the fire that burns the forest,as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
^{Verse 15}so pursue them with your tempest,
and terrify them with your storm.^{Verse 16}Fill their faces with confusion,that they may seek your name, LORD.^{Verse 17}Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever.Yes, let them be confounded and perish;^{Verse 18}that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD,⁺are the Most High over all the earth.
