Psalms 83

1 “A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!

A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.

2 For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.

For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.

3 Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.

They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.

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.

5 For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:

For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:

6 The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: Moab, and the Hagarenes;

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:

7 Gebal, and 'Ammon, and 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:

8 Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. (Selah)

Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. (Selah)

9 Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:

Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.

10 Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.

They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.

11 Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;

Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.

12 Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,

Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.

13 O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.

O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.

14 As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:

As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:

15 So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.

So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.

16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord!

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.

17 Let them be made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish:

Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,

18 That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.

That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
