Psalms 83O God, Do Not Keep Silence
A Song Or Psalm of Asaph
King James Version
1 Keep not thou silence, O God:
hold not thy peace,
and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult:and be not still, O God.
and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people,and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 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 For they have consulted together with one consent:
they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites;of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Assur also is joined with them:they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites;
as to Sisera,
as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at Endor:as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
they became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb:yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselvesthe houses of God in possession.
13 O my God, make them like a wheel;
as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood,and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with thy tempest,and make them afraid with thy storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame;that they may seek thy name, O Lord.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever;yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah,art the most high over all the earth.
God Implored To Confound His Enemies
