NIV Psalms 83 Chapter
83:1
O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still.
83:2
See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads.
83:3
With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
83:4
"Come," they say, "let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more."
83:5
With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you--
83:6
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
83:7
Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.
83:8
Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot. ((Selah))
83:9
Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
83:10
who perished at Endor and became like refuse on the ground.
83:11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
83:12
who said, "Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God."
83:13
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
83:14
As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
83:15
so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your storm.
83:16
Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name, O LORD.
83:17
May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
83:18
Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
