| Chapter 83 |
1 |
{A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O łGod: |
2 |
For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head. |
3 |
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones: |
4 |
They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more. |
5 |
For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee. |
6 |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites; |
7 |
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
8 |
Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah. |
9 |
Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon: |
10 |
Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground. |
11 |
Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna. |
12 |
For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God`s dwelling-places in possession. |
13 |
O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind. |
14 |
As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, |
15 |
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind. |
16 |
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. |
17 |
Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish: |
18 |
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth. |
