Psalm 83
Prayer against Enemies

A song. A psalm of Asaph.

God, do not keep silent.

Do not be deaf, God; do not be quiet.

See how your enemies make an uproar;

those who hate you have acted arrogantly.[fn]

They devise clever schemes against your people;

they conspire against your treasured ones.

They say, “Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation

so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”

For they have conspired with one mind;

they form an alliance[fn] against you —

the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,

Moab and the Hagrites,

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

Even Assyria has joined them;

they lend support[fn] to the sons of Lot.[fn]Selah

Deal with them as you did with Midian,

as you did with Sisera

and Jabin at the Kishon River.

10 They were destroyed at En-dor;

they became manure for the ground.

11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,

and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 who said, “Let’s seize God’s pastures for ourselves.”

13 Make them like tumbleweed, my God,

like straw before the wind.

14 As fire burns a forest,

as a flame blazes through mountains,

15 so pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your storm.

16 Cover their faces with shame

so that they will seek your name, LORD.

17 Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;

let them perish in disgrace.

18 May they know that you alone —

whose name is the LORD —

are the Most High over the whole earth.
