Psalms 83:1-8 ▼

1 A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.

2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

4 “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. Selah.
