Psalms 83

¹ A song; a psalm of Asaph.

² God, do not be silent; God, be not still and unmoved!

³ See how your enemies rage; your foes proudly raise their heads.

⁴ They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect.

⁵ They say, "Come, let us wipe out their nation; let Israel's name be mentioned no more!"

⁶ They scheme with one mind, in league against you:

⁷ The tents of Ishmael and Edom, the people of Moab and Hagar,

⁸ Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.

⁹ Assyria, too, in league with them gives aid to the descendants of Lot. Selah

¹⁰ Deal with them as with Midian; as with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent Kishon,

¹¹ Those destroyed at Endor, who became dung for the ground.

¹² Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

¹³ Who made a plan together, "Let us seize the pastures of God."

¹⁴ My God, turn them into withered grass, into chaff flying before the wind.

¹⁵ As a fire raging through a forest, a flame setting mountains ablaze,

¹⁶ Pursue them with your tempest; terrify them with your storm.

¹⁷ Cover their faces with shame, till they pay you homage, LORD.

¹⁸ Let them be dismayed and shamed forever; let them perish in disgrace.

¹⁹ Show them you alone are the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
