| [A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.] | Prayer for the defeat of Israel's Enemies. Psalm 83(v82) | ||
| O God, do not keep silence; do not hold thy peace or be still, O God! | |||
| For lo, thy enemies are in tumult; those who hate thee have raised their heads. | |||
| They lay crafty plans against thy people; they consult together against thy protected ones. | |||
| They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!" | |||
| Yea, they conspire with one accord; against thee they make a covenant - | |||
| the tents of Edom and the Ish'maelites, Moab and the Hagrites, | |||
| Gebal and Ammon and Am'alek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; | |||
| Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. [Selah] | |||
| Do to them as thou didst to Mid'ian, as to Sis'era and Jabin at the river Kishon, | |||
| who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground. | |||
| Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmun'na, | |||
| who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God." | |||
| O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. | |||
| As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze, | |||
| so do thou pursue them with thy tempest and terrify them with thy hurricane! | |||
| Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD. | |||
| Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; let them perish in disgrace. | |||
| Let them know that thou alone, whose name is the Lord, art the most high over all the earth. | |||
