Psalms 83
83
A Song, — A Psalm of Asaph.
1O God, let there be no silence to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God.
2For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have lifted up the head,
3Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.
4They have said, ‘Come, And we cut them off from [being] a nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.’
5For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,
6Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of Tyre,
8Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.
9Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin, at the stream Kishon.
10They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!
11Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes,
12Who have said, ‘Let us occupy for ourselves The comely places of God.’
13O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before wind.
14As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills on fire,
15So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy hurricane troublest them.
16Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O Jehovah.
17They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are confounded and lost.
18And they know that Thou — (Thy name [is] Jehovah — by Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth!

Psalm 83
83
O God, Do Not Keep Silence
A Song. A Psalm of #See Ps. 50, titleAsaph.
1O God, do not keep silence;
# See Ps. 28:1 do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2For behold, your enemies #[Ps. 2:1] make an uproar;
those who hate you have #Judg. 8:28raised their heads.
3They lay #[Neh. 4:8] crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your #See Ps. 27:5; 31:20treasured ones.
4They say, “Come, #Jer. 48:2; [Ps. 74:8; Esth. 3:6]let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6the tents of #Ps. 137:7; See 2 Chr. 20:10 Edom and #See Gen. 25:12-16 the Ishmaelites,
#
2 Chr. 20:10 Moab and #1 Chr. 5:10the Hagrites,
7 #
Josh. 13:5 Gebal and #[See ver. 6 above] Ammon and #1 Sam. 15:2 Amalek,
#
1 Sam. 4:1; [Amos 1:6] Philistia with the inhabitants of #Ezek. 27:3; [Amos 1:9]Tyre;
8 #
2 Kgs. 15:19 Asshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of #Deut. 2:9, 19the children of Lot. Selah
9Do to them as you did to #Num. 31:7; See Isa. 9:4 Midian,
as to #Judg. 4:15, 24 Sisera and Jabin at #Judg. 4:7; 5:21the river Kishon,
10who were destroyed at #Josh. 17:11; 1 Sam. 28:7 En-dor,
who became #See Job 20:7dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like #Judg. 7:25; 8:3 Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like #See Judg. 8:5-21Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, #[2 Chr. 20:11]“Let us take possession for ourselves
of the pastures of God.”
13O my God, make them like #Isa. 17:13 whirling dust,#83:13 Or like a tumbleweed
like #Job 13:25; 21:18; [Ps. 1:4]chaff before the wind.
14As #[Isa. 9:18]; See Isa. 10:16-19 fire consumes the forest,
as the flame #Deut. 32:22sets the mountains ablaze,
15so may you pursue them #Job 9:17with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane!
16 # [Ps. 35:4, 26; Job 10:15] Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O Lord.
17Let them be #Ps. 35:4put to shame and dismayed forever;
let them perish in disgrace,
18that they may #Ps. 59:13 know that you alone,
#
Ex. 6:3 whose name is the Lord,
are #Ps. 9:2; 18:13; 97:9the Most High over all the earth.
