Psalm 83 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895 Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895
Psalm 83

¹ O God, keep not thou silence: 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 take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together 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; Against thee do they make a covenant:

⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;

⁷ Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

⁸ Assyria also is joined with them; They have holpen the children of Lot. Selah

⁹ Do thou unto them as unto Midian; As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon:

¹⁰ Which perished at En-dor; They became as dung for the earth.

¹¹ Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna:

¹² Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

¹³ O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

¹⁴ As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire;

¹⁵ So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.

¹⁶ Fill their faces with confusion; That they may seek thy name, O LORD.

¹⁷ Let them be ashamed and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish:

¹⁸ That they may know that thou alone, Whose name is jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth.
