Chapter 83 |
| 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. |
