Psalm 83Prayer against Enemies
|
|
|
|
1. God, do not keep silent.
|
|
Do not be deaf, God; do not be quiet.
|
|
|
|
2. See how your enemies make an uproar;
|
|
those who hate you have acted arrogantly.
|
|
|
|
3. They devise clever schemes against your people;
|
|
they conspire against your treasured ones.
|
|
|
|
4. They say, "Come, let's wipe them out as a nation
|
|
so that Israel's name will no longer be remembered."
|
|
|
|
5. For they have conspired with one mind;
|
|
they form an alliance 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. Even Assyria has joined them;
|
|
they lend support to the sons of Lot.Selah
|
|
|
|
9. Deal with them as you did with Midian,
|
|
as you did with Sisera
|
|
and Jabin at the Kishon River.
|
|
|
|
10. They were destroyed at En-dor;
|
|
they became manure for the ground.
|
|
|
|
11. Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
|
|
and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
|
|
|
|
12. who said, "Let's seize God's pastures for ourselves."
|
|
|
|
13. Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
|
|
like straw before the wind.
|
|
|
|
14. As fire burns a forest,
|
|
as a flame blazes through mountains,
|
|
|
|
15. so pursue them with your tempest
|
|
and terrify them with your storm.
|
|
|
|
16. Cover their faces with shame
|
|
so that they will seek your name, Lord.
|
|
|
|
17. Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
|
|
let them perish in disgrace.
|
|
|
|
18. May they know that you alone--
|
|
whose name is the Lord--
|
|
are the Most High over the whole earth.
