Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?

they conspire against your precious ones.

We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:5 - Yes, this was their unanimous decision.
They signed a treaty as allies against you—

Moabites and Hagrites;

Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna,

these pasturelands of God!”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:13 - O my God, scatter them like tumbleweed,
like chaff before the wind!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:14 - As a fire burns a forest
and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:15 - chase them with your fierce storm;
terrify them with your tempest.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:16 - Utterly disgrace them
until they submit to your name, O LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:17 - Let them be ashamed and terrified forever.
Let them die in disgrace.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 83:18 - Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD,
that you alone are the Most High,
supreme over all the earth.
