The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

who perished at Endor,
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.

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

who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

My God, make them like tumbleweed,

As the fire that burns the forest,
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

so pursue them with your tempest,
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

Fill their faces with confusion,
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever.
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
83:18
that they may know that you alone, whose name is the LORD,
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
