Psalms 83:2-18 ▼

2 For behold, Your enemies roar, || And those hating You have lifted up the head,

3 They take crafty counsel against Your people, || And consult against Your hidden ones.

4 They have said, “Come, and we cut them off from [being] a nation, || And the name of Israel is not remembered anymore.”

5 For they consulted in heart together, || They make a covenant against You,

6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes,

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

8 Asshur is also joined with them, || They have been an arm to sons of Lot. Selah.

9 Do to them as Midian, || As Sisera, as Jabin, at the Brook of Kishon.

10 They were destroyed at Endor, || They were dung for the ground!

11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, || And as Zebah and Zalmunna—all their princes,

12 Who have said, “Let us occupy the pastures of God for ourselves.”

13 O my God, make them as a rolling thing, || As stubble before wind.

14 As a fire burns a forest, || And as a flame sets hills on fire,

15 So You pursue them with Your whirlwind, || And trouble them with Your windstorm.

16 Fill their faces [with] shame, || And they seek Your Name, O YHWH.

17 They are ashamed and troubled forever, || Indeed, they are confounded and lost.

18 And they know that You—Your Name [is] YHWH—By Yourself [are] the Most High over all the earth!
