| Chapter 83
|
1 | Keep not thou
silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. |
2 | For, lo, thine enemies make a
tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. |
3 | They have taken crafty counsel
against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
4 | 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. |
5 |
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against
thee: |
6 | The
tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; |
7 | Gebal, and Ammon, and
Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; |
8 | Assur also is joined with them:
they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
9 | Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to
Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: |
10 | Which perished at Endor: they became as dung
for the earth. |
11 |
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah,
and as Zalmunna: |
12 |
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. |
13 | O my God, make them
like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. |
14 | As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame
setteth the mountains on fire; |
15 | So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid
with thy storm. |
16 |
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. |
17 | Let them be
confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
|
18 | That men may
know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the
earth. |
