Psalms 83:1-9 ▼

1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep no silence to You; do not be silent, and do not be still, O God.

2 For behold, Your enemies roar, and those hating You have lifted up the head.

3 Against Your people, they act with cunning counsel, and they take counsel together against Your treasured ones.

4 They say, “Come, and we shall make them disappear as a nation, and the name of Israel will not be remembered anymore.”

5 For, they consulted together in heart; they cut an alliance against You—

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

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with those dwelling in Tyre.

8 Assyria also has joined with them; they have become an arm for the sons of Lot. Selah

9 may You do to them as to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the River Kishon.
