Psalms 83

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 A song; a psalm of Asaph.	1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 God, do not be silent; God, be not still and unmoved!	2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 See how your enemies rage; your foes proudly raise their heads.	3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They conspire against your people, plot against those you protect.	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.
5 They say, "Come, let us wipe out their nation; let Israel's name be mentioned no more!"	5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 They scheme with one mind, in league against you:	6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 The tents of Ishmael and Edom, the people of Moab and Hagar,	7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.	8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Assyria, too, in league with them gives aid to the descendants of Lot. Selah	9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Deal with them as with Midian; as with Sisera and Jabin at the torrent Kishon,	10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11 Those destroyed at Endor, who became dung for the ground.	11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,	12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 Who made a plan together, "Let us seize the pastures of God."	13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 My God, turn them into withered grass, into chaff flying before the wind.	14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 As a fire raging through a forest, a flame setting mountains ablaze,	15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Pursue them with your tempest; terrify them with your storm.	16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Cover their faces with shame, till they pay you homage, LORD.	17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 Let them be dismayed and shamed forever; let them perish in disgrace.	18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
19 Show them you alone are the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
