Psalms 83
1 A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.
A Song; a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:
2 For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.
For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.
3 They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.
They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:
4 They haue said, Come and let vs cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.
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 haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:
For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;
7 Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)
Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.
Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:
10 They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.
Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.
11 Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.
Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.
12 Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.
For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.
13 O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.
O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:
As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,
15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.
So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.
16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.
Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,
Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:
18 That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
