Psalm 83 - American Standard Version 20151 {\b A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.}\par\par\tab O God, keep not thou silence:\par\tab Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult;\par\tab And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They take crafty counsel against thy people,\par\tab And consult together against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said,\par\tab Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;\par\tab That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent;\par\tab Against thee do they make a covenant: 6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;\par\tab Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;\par\tab Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre: 8 Assyria also is joined with them;\par\tab They have helped the children of Lot. {\i Selah 9 Do thou unto them as unto Midian,\par\tab As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon; 10 Who perished at Endor,\par\tab Who became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb;\par\tab Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna; 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession\par\tab The habitations of God. 13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust;\par\tab As stubble before the wind. 14 As the fire that burneth the forest,\par\tab And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire, 15 So pursue them with thy tempest,\par\tab And terrify them with thy storm. 16 Fill their faces with confusion,\par\tab That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. 17 Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;\par\tab Yea, let them be confounded and perish; 18 That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah,\par\tab Art the Most High over all the earth.\par |
