Psalms:83

Seeker Overlay ON

* O God ! keep not silence ! Hold not thy peace , and be not still , O God ! * For , lo ! thine enemies roar , And they who hate thee lift up their heads . * For they form secret plots against thy people , And consult together against thy chosen ones . * "Come ," say they , "let us blot them out from the number of the nations , That the name of Israel may no more be remembered !" * With one consent they consult together , Against thee do they form a league ,–– * The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites , Of Moab and the Hagarenes , * Gebal and Ammon and Amalek , The Philistines , with the inhabitants of Tyre . * The Assyrians also are joined with them ; They lend their strength to the children of Lot . * Do to them as to the Midianites , As to Sisera , as to Jabin at the brook Kison , * Who perished at Endor , And were trampled like dung to the earth . * Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb ; Yea , all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna ! * Who say , "Let us seize on God ’s habitations !" * Make them , O my God ! like whirling chaff ; Like stubble before the wind ! * As fire consumeth the forest , And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze , * So pursue them with thy tempest , And terrify them with thy storm ! * Cover their faces with shame , That they may seek thy name , O LORD ! * Let them be confounded ! Yea , let them be put to shame , and perish ! * That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah ; That thou art the Most High over all the earth .
