Psalms 83:1-12

¹(83-1) A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. (83-2) O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

²(83-3) For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

³(83-4) They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

⁴(83-5) They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'

⁵(83-6) For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

⁶(83-7) The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

⁷(83-8) Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

⁸(83-9) Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. Selah

⁹(83-10) Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

¹⁰(83-11) Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

¹¹(83-12) Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

¹²(83-13) Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
