| Chapter 83 |
1 |
God, don't keep silent. Don't keep silent, and don't be still, God.
|
2 |
For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
|
3 |
They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
|
4 |
'Come,' they say, 'and let us destroy them as a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.'
|
5 |
For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
|
6 |
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
|
7 |
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
|
8 |
Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
|
9 |
Do to them as you did to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
|
10 |
Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.
|
11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
|
12 |
Who said, 'Let us take possession Of God's pasturelands.'
|
13 |
My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind.
|
14 |
As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
|
15 |
So pursue them with your tempest, Terrify them with your storm.
|
16 |
Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh.
|
17 |
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
|
18 |
That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, Are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.
