| Chapter 83 |
1 |
God, don`t keep silent. Don`t keep silent, and don`t be still, God. |
2 |
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads. |
3 |
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones. |
4 |
"Come," they say, "and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more." |
5 |
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you. |
6 |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites; |
7 |
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
8 |
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah. |
9 |
Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; |
10 |
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth. |
11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; |
12 |
Who said, "Let us take possession Of God`s pasturelands." |
13 |
My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind. |
14 |
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire, |
15 |
So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm. |
16 |
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh. |
17 |
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish; |
18 |
That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. |
