Psalm 83

83 A song, a psalm of Asaph.

83 O God, do not be silent!

Do not ignore us! Do not be inactive, O God!

2 For look, your enemies are making a commotion;

those who hate you are hostile.

3 They carefully plot against your people,

and make plans to harm the ones you cherish.

4 They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation!

Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

5 Yes, they devise a unified strategy;

they form an alliance against you.

6 It includes the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,

Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.

8 Even Assyria has allied with them,

lending its strength to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)

9 Do to them as you did to Midian –

as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River!

10 They were destroyed at Endor;

their corpses were like manure on the ground.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

and all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, “Let’s take over the pastures of God!”

13 O my God, make them like dead thistles,

like dead weeds blown away by the wind!

14 Like the fire that burns down the forest,

or the flames that consume the mountainsides,

15 chase them with your gale winds,

and terrify them with your windstorm.

16 Cover their faces with shame,

so they might seek you, O Lord.

17 May they be humiliated and continually terrified!

May they die in shame!

18 Then they will know that you alone are the Lord,

the sovereign king over all the earth.
