Psalm 83
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. O God, do not be silent!
|
|
|
|
Do not be deaf.
|
|
|
|
Do not be quiet, O God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Don't you hear the uproar of your enemies?
|
|
|
|
Don't you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. They devise crafty schemes against your people;
|
|
|
|
they conspire against your precious ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. "Come," they say, "let us wipe out Israel as a nation.
|
|
|
|
We will destroy the very memory of its existence."
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Yes, this was their unanimous decision.
|
|
|
|
They signed a treaty as allies against you--
|
|
|
|
6. these Edomites and Ishmaelites;
|
|
|
|
Moabites and Hagrites;
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites;
|
|
|
|
and people from Philistia and Tyre.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Assyria has joined them, too,
|
|
|
|
and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Do to them as you did to the Midianites
|
|
|
|
and as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. They were destroyed at Endor,
|
|
|
|
and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did.
|
|
|
|
Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. for they said, "Let us seize for our own use
|
|
|
|
these pasturelands of God!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed,
|
|
|
|
like chaff before the wind!
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. As a fire burns a forest
|
|
|
|
and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. chase them with your fierce storm;
|
|
|
|
terrify them with your tempest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. Utterly disgrace them
|
|
until they submit to your name, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
17. Let them be ashamed and terrified forever.
|
|
|
|
Let them die in disgrace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD,
|
|
|
|
that you alone are the Most High,
|
|
|
|
supreme over all the earth.
