A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless (note: Or deaf); be not still, O God.
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; And they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
83:2
See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, And take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
83:3
With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
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.'
83:4
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
For they have consulted together with one consent; Against Thee do they make a covenant;
83:5
For with one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against You—
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
83:6
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:7
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
Assyria also is joined with them; They have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah
83:8
Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
83:9
Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
Who were destroyed at En-dor; They became as dung for the earth.
83:10
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
83:11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.'
83:12
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
83:13
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
83:14
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
So pursue them with Thy tempest, And affright them with Thy storm.
83:15
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
Fill their faces with shame; That they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
83:16
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; Yea, let them be abashed and perish;
83:17
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, The Most High over all the earth.
83:18
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
