Psalms, Chapter 83

1. O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!    2. For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;    3. Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.    4. They have said -- Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.    5. For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee -- a covenant, would they solemnize --    6. The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;    7. Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;    8. Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. [Selah.]    9. Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;    10. They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!    11. Make them -- their nobles -- like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes:    12. Who said -- Let us take a possession foe ourselves, The pastures of God!    13. O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;    14. As a fire burneth a forest, -- And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,    15. So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, -- And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:    16. Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;    17. Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:    18. That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
