# 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. |
