Chapter 83
|
1
|
Keep not thou silence, O God: 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 have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
consulted 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: they
are confederate against thee: |
6
|
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab,
and the Hagarenes; |
7
|
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
inhabitants of Tyre; |
8
|
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the
children of Lot. Selah. |
9
|
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as
to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
10
|
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the
earth. |
11
|
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all
their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: |
12
|
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God
in possession. |
13
|
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before
the wind. |
14
|
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth
the mountains on fire; |
15
|
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid
with thy storm. |
16
|
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name,
O LORD. |
17
|
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let
them be put to shame, and perish: |
18
|
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH,
art the most high over all the earth. |
