# Chapter 83
|
||
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. |
