PSALM 83 [†] O God, do not keep silence;

 h do not hold your peace or be still, O God!

2 For behold, your enemies  i make an uproar;

those who hate you have  j raised their heads.

3 They lay  k crafty plans against your people;

they consult together against your  l treasured ones.

4 They say, “Come,  m let us wipe them out as a nation;

let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”

5 For they conspire with one accord;

against you they make a covenant—

6 the tents of  n Edom and  o the Ishmaelites,

 p Moab and  q the Hagrites,

7  r Gebal and  p Ammon and  s Amalek,

 t Philistia with the inhabitants of  u Tyre;

8  v Asshur also has joined them;

they are the strong arm of  w the children of Lot. Selah

9[^][†] Do to them as you did to  x Midian,

as to  y Sisera and Jabin at  z the river Kishon,

10 who were destroyed at  a En-dor,

who became  b dung for the ground.

11 Make their nobles like  c Oreb and Zeeb,

all their princes like  d Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said,  e “Let us take possession for ourselves

of the pastures of God.”

13 O my God, make them like  f whirling dust, [1]

like  g chaff before the wind.

14 As  h fire consumes the forest,

as the flame  i sets the mountains ablaze,

15 so may you pursue them  j with your tempest

and terrify them with your hurricane!

16  k Fill their faces with shame,

that they may seek your name, O LORD.

17 Let them be  l put to shame and dismayed forever;

let them perish in disgrace,

18 that they may  m know that you alone,

 n whose name is the LORD,

are  o the Most High over all the earth.
