psalms 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, "let's 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 pasture lands."

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,and terrify them with your storm.

16 - Fill their faces with confusion,that they may seek your name, The LORD.

17 - Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever.Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

18 - that they may know that you alone, whose name is The LORD,are the Most High over all the earth.
