Psalms 83:1-9 ▼

1 A song, the psalme of Asaph. Holde not thy tongue O Lorde: kepe not styll scilence, refraine not thy selfe O Lorde.

2 For beholde, thyne enemies make an vprore: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp their head.

3 They haue deuised shrewde counsell against thy people: and they haue consulted against thyne, whom thou defendest.

4 They haue said, come, and let vs roote them out, that they be no more a people: and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembraunce.

5 For they haue conspired all in one minde: & are confederate against thee.

6 The pauilions of Edom and the Ismaelites: of Moab, and Hagerites,

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec: the Philistines with the inhabitauntes of Tyre.

8 Assur also is ioyned vnto them: they were a great ayde to the chyldren of Lot. Selah.

9 But do thou vnto them, as vnto Midian: as vnto Sisera, as vnto Iabin at the brooke Kishon.
