The Book of Psalms 83

Text size

1 Keep not thou silence O God hold not thy peace and be not still O God ⚑

2 For lo thine enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lifted up the head ⚑

3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones ⚑

4 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 ⚑

5 For they have consulted together with one consent they are confederate against thee ⚑

6 The tabernacles of Edom and the Ishmaelites of Moab and the Hagarenes ⚑

7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre ⚑

8 Assur also is joined with them they have holpen the children of Lot Selah ⚑

9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites as to Sisera as to Jabin at the brook of Kison ⚑

10 Which perished at Endor they became as dung for the earth ⚑

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb yea all their princes as Zebah and as Zalmunna ⚑

12 Who said Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession ⚑

13 O my God make them like a wheel as the stubble before the wind ⚑

14 As the fire burneth a wood and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire ⚑

15 So persecute them with thy tempest and make them afraid with thy storm ⚑

16 Fill their faces with shame that they may seek thy name O LORD ⚑

17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever yea let them be put to shame and perish ⚑

18 That men may know that thou whose name alone is JEHOVAH art the most high over all the earth ⚑
