Psalms
Chapter 83Berean Standard Bible
King James Version
1O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
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.
5For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You -
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
