Psalms 83

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref O God, keep not thou silence: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 Ref For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult; And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3 Ref Thy take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones.

4 Ref 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.

6 Ref The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Ref Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:

8 Ref Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

9 Ref Do thou unto them as unto Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

10 Ref Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.

11 Ref Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;

12 Ref Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.

13 Ref O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.

14 Ref As the fire that burneth the forest, And as the flame that setteth the mountains on fire,

15 Ref So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm.

16 Ref Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

17 Ref Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish;

18 Ref That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 84 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
