# Psalms 83 [[Psalms 82|←]] • [[Psalms 84|→]] --- A Song Psalm of Asaph. ### 1 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 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. ### 9 Do unto them as the Midianites; as Sisera, as Jabin, at the brook of Kison: ### 10 perished at Endor: they became 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 may know that thou, whose name alone Jehovah, the most high over all the earth.
