A Song or Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God (83:1)

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head (83:2)

They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones (83:3)

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 (83:4)

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee (83:5)

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes (83:6)

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre (83:7)

Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah (83:8)

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison (83:9)

Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth (83:10)

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna (83:11)

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession (83:12)

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind (83:13)

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire (83:14)

So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm (83:15)

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord (83:16)

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish (83:17)

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth (83:18)
