Psalms

83 0 A Song or Psalm ¹of Asaph.

1 KEEP ^anot thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 For, ^blo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 They ^chave taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against ^dthy hidden ones.

4 They have said, ^eCome, and let us ^fcut them off ^gfrom being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5 For ^hthey have consulted together with one ²consent: they are confederate against thee:

6 The ^i*tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 ^jGebal, and Ammon, and ^kAmalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 ^lAssur also is joined with them: they have ^3*holpen ^mthe children of Lot. Selah.

9 Do unto them as unto the ⁿMidianites; as to ^oSisera, as to Jabin, at ^pthe brook of Kison:

10 Which perished at Endor: they became as ^qdung for the earth.

11 Make their nobles like ^rOreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as ^sZebah, and as Zalmunna:

12 Who said, ^tLet us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13 ^uO my God, make them like a wheel; as ^vthe stubble before the wind.

14 As ^wthe fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15 So ^xpersecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16 ^yFill their faces with shame; that ⁴they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17 Let ^zthem be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18 That ^amen may know that thou, ^bwhose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
