Psalms 83

83 ¹ O our Father, do not keep silent; do not hold your peace or be still, O our Father. ² For look, your enemies are in an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. ³ Against your people they plot in secret; they conspire together against those you treasure. ⁴ They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more." ⁵ With one mind they conspire; against you they make a covenant— ⁶ the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, ⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre. ⁸ Assyria too has joined them; they have become the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah

⁹ Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon, ¹⁰ who were destroyed at En-dor and became manure for the ground. ¹¹ Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, ¹² who said, "Let us take for ourselves the pastures of God." ¹³ O my Father, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. ¹⁴ As fire burns through a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze, ¹⁵ so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm. ¹⁶ Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O our Father. ¹⁷ Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; let them perish in disgrace, ¹⁸ that they may know that you alone, whose name is our Father, are the Most High over all the earth.
