A song. A melody of Aʹsaph.
83 O God, do not be silent;
Do not keep quiet* or still, O Divine One.
2 For look! your enemies are in an uproar;
Those who hate you act arrogantly.*
3 With cunning they secretly plot against your people;
They conspire against your treasured ones.*
4 They say: “Come, let us annihilate them as a nation,
So that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
5 They devise a unified strategy;*
They have made an alliance* against you—
6 The tents of Eʹdom and the Ishʹma·el·ites, Moʹab and the Hagʹrites,
7 Geʹbal and Amʹmon and Amʹa·lek,
Phi·lisʹti·a together with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 As·syrʹi·a too has joined them;
They give support to* the sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Do to them as you did to Midʹi·an,
As you did to Sisʹe·ra and Jaʹbin at the stream* of Kiʹshon.
10 They were annihilated at En-dor;
They became manure for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like Oʹreb and Zeʹeb
And their princes* like Zeʹbah and Zal·munʹna,
12 For they said: “Let us take possession of the land where God dwells.”
13 O my God, make them like a whirling thistle,*
Like stubble blown about by the wind.
14 Like a fire that burns up the forest,
Like a flame that scorches the mountains,
15 So may you pursue them with your tempest
And terrify them with your windstorm.
16 Cover* their faces with dishonor,
So that they may search for your name, O Jehovah.
17 May they be put to shame and be terrified forever;
May they be disgraced and perish;
18 May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
