# Psalm 83 (New King James Version)
Prayer to Frustrate Conspiracy Against Israel

##### Chapter 83
###### 1 Do not keep silent, O God!  
Do not hold Your peace,  
And do not be still, O God!  

###### 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;  
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.  

###### 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,  
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.  

###### 4 They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from _being_ a nation,  
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

###### 5 For they have consulted together with one consent;  
They form a confederacy against You:  

###### 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;  
Moab and the Hagrites;  

###### 7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;  
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;  

###### 8 Assyria also has joined with them;  
They have helped the children of Lot. _Selah_

###### 9 Deal with them as _with_ Midian,  
As _with_ Sisera,  
As _with_ Jabin at the Brook Kishon,  

###### 10 Who perished at En Dor,  
_Who_ became _as_ refuse on the earth.  

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

###### 12 Who said, "Let us take for ourselves  
The pastures of God for a possession."

###### 13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust,  
Like the chaff before the wind!  

###### 14 As the fire burns the woods,  
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,  

###### 15 So pursue them with Your tempest,  
And frighten them with Your storm.  

###### 16 Fill their faces with shame,  
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.  

###### 17 Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;  
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,  

###### 18 That they may know that You, whose name alone _is_ the Lord,  
_Are_ the Most High over all the earth.
