O God, Do Not Keep Silence
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 83
|
|
1. O God, do not keep silence;
|
|
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
|
|
|
|
2. For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
|
|
those who hate you have raised their heads.
|
|
|
|
3. They lay crafty plans against your people;
|
|
they consult together against your treasured ones.
|
|
|
|
4. They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
|
|
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!"
|
|
|
|
5. For they conspire with one accord;
|
|
against you they make a covenant--
|
|
|
|
6. the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
|
|
Moab and the Hagrites,
|
|
|
|
7. Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
|
|
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
|
|
|
|
8. Asshur also has joined them;
|
|
they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
|
|
|
|
9. Do to them as you did to Midian,
|
|
as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
|
|
|
|
10. who were destroyed at En-dor,
|
|
who became dung for the ground.
|
|
|
|
11. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
|
|
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
|
|
|
12. who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves
|
|
of the pastures of God."
|
|
|
|
13. O my God, make them like whirling dust,
|
|
like chaff before the wind.
|
|
|
|
14. As fire consumes the forest,
|
|
as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
|
|
|
|
15. so may you pursue them with your tempest
|
|
and terrify them with your hurricane!
|
|
|
|
16. Fill their faces with shame,
|
|
that they may seek your name, O LORD.
|
|
|
|
17. Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
|
|
let them perish in disgrace,
|
|
|
|
18. that they may know that you alone,
|
|
whose name is the LORD,
|
|
are the Most High over all the earth.
