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. |
