Psalm 83

¹A song, or Psalme committed to Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God: bee not still, and cease not, O God.

²For lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee, haue lifted vp the head.

³They haue taken craftie counsell against thy people, and haue consulted against thy secret ones.

⁴They haue said, Come and let vs cut them off from being a nation: and let the name of Israel be no more in remembrance.

⁵For they haue consulted together in heart, and haue made a league against thee:

⁶The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Agarims:

⁷Gebal and Ammon, and Amalech, the Philistims with the inhabitants of Tyrus:

⁸Asshur also is ioyned with them: they haue bene an arme to the children of Lot. Selah.

⁹Doe thou to them as vnto the Midianites: as to Sisera and as to Iabin at the riuer of Kishon.

¹⁰They perished at En-dor, and were dung for the earth.

¹¹Make them, euen their princes like Oreb and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes like Zebah and like Zalmuna.

¹²Which haue said, Let vs take for our possession the habitations of God.

¹³O my God, make them like vnto a wheele, and as the stubble before the winde.

¹⁴As the fire burneth the forest, and as the flame setteth the mountaines on fire:

¹⁵So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraide with thy storme.

¹⁶Fill their faces with shame, that they may seeke thy Name, O Lord.

¹⁷Let them be confounded and troubled for euer: yea, let them be put to shame and perish,

¹⁸That they may knowe that thou, which art called Iehouah, art alone, euen the most High ouer all the earth.
