1 “A song or psalm of Assaph.” (83:2) O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God! VP
2 (83:3) For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head. VP
3 (83:4) Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest. VP
4 (83:5) They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more. VP
5 (83:6) For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant: VP
6 (83:7) The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: Moab, and the Hagarenes; VP
7 (83:8) Gebal, and 'Ammon, and 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; VP
8 (83:9) Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. Selah. VP
9 (83:10) Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon: VP
10 (83:11) Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground. VP
11 (83:12) Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes; VP
12 (83:13) Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God, VP
13 (83:14) O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind. VP
14 (83:15) As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire: VP
15 (83:16) So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them. VP
16 (83:17) Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord! VP
17 (83:18) Let them be made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish: VP
18 (83:19) That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth. VP
