83 Keep
not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For,
lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up
the head. 3 They
have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy
hidden ones. 4 They
have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the
name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For
they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against
thee: 6 The
tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal,
and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur
also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook
of Kison: 10 Which
perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 Make
their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah,
and as Zalmunna: 12 Who
said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 13 O my
God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 14 As
the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So
persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 16 Fill
their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 17 Let
them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame,
and perish: 18 That
men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over
all the earth.
