Psalms 83

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 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: 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 ourselves the 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.
