Psalm 83:1

Revised Version 1885

O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

See the chapter Copy

Unto thee, O LORD, will I call; My rock, be not thou deaf unto me: Lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Thou hast seen it, O LORD; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: A fire shall devour before him, And it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, cast us not off for ever.

God, even God, the LORD, hath spoken, And called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
