Psalms Chapter 83 (NIV)

undefined Psalm 83A song. A psalm of Asaph.O God, do not keep silent;be not quiet, O God, be not still.
undefined See how your enemies are astir,how your foes rear their heads.
undefined With cunning they conspire against your people;they plot against those you cherish.
undefined “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,that the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
undefined With one mind they plot together;they form an alliance against you—
undefined the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,of Moab and the Hagrites,
undefined Gebal, Ammon and Amalek,Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
undefined Even Assyria has joined themto lend strength to the descendants of Lot. Selah
undefined Do to them as you did to Midian,as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
undefined who perished at Endorand became like refuse on the ground.
undefined Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
undefined who said, “Let us take possessionof the pasturelands of God.”
undefined Make them like tumbleweed, O my God,like chaff before the wind.
undefined As fire consumes the forestor a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
undefined so pursue them with your tempestand terrify them with your storm.
undefined Cover their faces with shameso that men will seek your name, O Lord.
undefined May they ever be ashamed and dismayed;may they perish in disgrace.
undefined Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord—that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
