Psalms 83:1-9 ▼

1 A song. A psalm of Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not be deaf, God; do not be idle.

2 See how Your enemies make an uproar; those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

3 They devise clever schemes against Your people; they conspire against Your treasured ones.

4 They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”

5 For they have conspired 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 Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah

9 Deal with them as You did with Midian, as You did with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
