Psalms - Chapter 83 | American Standard Version

  • 1. A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
  • 2. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
  • 3. Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.
  • 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. For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant:
  • 6. The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
  • 7. Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
  • 8. Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. {cf15i Selah.}
  • 9. Do thou unto them as unto 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; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
  • 12. Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.
  • 13. O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
  • 14. As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,
  • 15. So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.
  • 16. Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
  • 17. Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;
  • 18. That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.
