A Song of a Psalm for Asaph. 83:1 O God,
who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
83:2 For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee
have lifted up the head.
83:3 Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken
counsel against thy saints.
83:4 They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the
nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
83:5 For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a
confederacy against thee;
83:6 even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the
Agarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that
dwell at Tyre.
83:8 Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the
children of Lot. Pause.
83:9 Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook
of Kison.
83:10 They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the
earth.
83:11 Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all
their princes:
83:12 who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.
83:13 O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the
wind.
83:14 As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the
mountains;
83:15 so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in
thine anger.
83:16 Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord.
83:17 Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be
confounded and destroyed.
83:18 And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High
over all the earth. |
A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. 83:1 Keep not
thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have
lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted
against thy hidden ones.
83:4 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.
83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate
against thee:
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the
Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of
Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot.
Selah.
83:9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the
brook of Kison:
83:10 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as
Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
83:12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
83:14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on
fire;
83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy
storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
83:17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to
shame, and perish:
83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most
high over all the earth. |
