Psalms 83:1-9 ▼

1 [A song; a psalm by Asaph.] O God, do not remain silent. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. Do not keep quiet, O God.

2 Look, your enemies are in an uproar. Those who hate you hold their heads high.

3 They make plans in secret against your people and plot together against those you treasure.

4 They say, |Let's wipe out their nation so that the name of Israel will no longer be remembered.|

5 They agree completely on their plan. They form an alliance against you:

6 the tents from Edom and Ishmael, Moab and Hagar,

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia, along with those who live in Tyre.

8 Even Assyria has joined them. They helped the descendants of Lot. [Selah]

9 Do to them what you did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
