Psalms 83:7-14 in English

⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

⁸ Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

⁹ Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

¹⁰ Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.

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

¹² Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

¹³ O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

¹⁴ As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,

⁷ the valley of weeping, to the place which he has appointed, for there the law-giver will grant blessings.

⁸ They shall go from strength to strength: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

⁹ O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob. Pause.

¹⁰ Behold, O God our defender, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

¹¹ For one day in thy courts is better than thousands. I would rather be an abject in the house of God, than dwell in the tents of sinners.

¹² For the Lord loves mercy and truth: God will give grace and glory: the Lord will not withhold good things from them that walk in innocence.

¹³ O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in thee.
