Psalm 83

1God, do not remain silent. Do not be silent and do not stay quiet, O God.

2For see, your enemies roar, and those who hate you have raised their heads.

3They devise cunning schemes against your people and conspire against your treasured ones.

4They say, "Come, let us eradicate them as a nation, so that Israel's name is not remembered anymore."

5For they have counseled together with one heart to cut a covenant against you.

6Edom's tents, the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites;

7Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the dwellers in Tyre;

8Assyria also has allied with them; they have become an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

9Deal with them as with Midian, as with Sisera, as with Jabin at the brook Kishon.

10They were destroyed at En-dor and became dung for the ground.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna.

12who said, "Let us possess God's pastures for ourselves."

13My God, make them like a wheel, like stubble before the wind.

14Like fire that burns the forest, like a flame that sets the mountains ablaze.

15So chase them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.

16Fill their faces with disgrace, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.

17Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, and let them be disgraced and destroyed.

18Let them know that you, whose name alone is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.
